GALT, CA (MPG) - The fourth annual St. Martin Foundation Pasta & Bingo Night will take place at 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Littleton Community Center, raising funds to support the ongoing work of a local recovery residence that provides transitional housing and support services for individuals battling addiction.

Founded in 2022 by local barbershop owner Mark Jackson, the nonprofit offers transitional housing for men leaving rehabilitation programs. The residence works to reduce homelessness among those transitioning out of alcohol and addiction treatment, serving veterans and non-veterans alike as they move toward independent living.

The annual Pasta & Bingo Night fundraiser brings the community together for a pasta dinner and bingo games, with proceeds helping to sustain the St. Martin Foundation’s recovery and housing services.

In addition to housing, St. Martin Foundation assists participants with reintegrating into society by offering practical support such as job search assistance and help securing permanent housing. The program is designed to bridge the gap between recovery programs and long-term stability, equipping residents with tools to rebuild their lives.

The annual fundraiser brings the community together for a pasta dinner and bingo games, with proceeds helping to sustain the foundation’s recovery and housing services. Raffle tickets will be available for $1, and additional bingo cards will be sold for $5 to $10. Adult tickets are $40, while children’s tickets are $25. Admission includes a pasta dinner, five bingo games and a door prize. A no-host bar will also be available.
