Bovella’s Gives Back

The Bovella’s Family would like to thank everyone who has contributed so far! You’re all amazing! For those of you who don’t know us...we are a family owned and operation pastry shop specializing in cakes, pastries, cupcakes and more! We started off in 1949 in Plainfield, NJ. In the late 70’s we’ve moved locations to Westfield, NJ. Owner, Ralph Bencivenga, and family strive to serve the best quality product to the community. Over the years we have expanded our business opening Bovellas Bakery Cafe in 2017.  Our staff has have become family to us over the years. We wouldn’t be able to do it all without them!

 We wanted to create something based on customers requests. We see that everyone is setting up GoFund Me Pages to help their community. We want to make a difference and take part of the solution.  So far, we’ve fed teams at Overlook Hospital Summit, Westfield Police Department,  Fire Departments, Rescue Squads, and families who are in need. The donations have included individual boxed sandwich/salad, breakfast items, pastries & cookies. These items have made our front line workers extremely grateful during this challenging time. It is all about giving back and supporting. Thank you to all the Hospital Staff, Police, EMTs, Pharmacists, Mail Carriers, Truck Drivers, Teachers, Delivery Drivers, Grocery Store Employees, Restaurant Staff, Cleaning Personnel & Our Supply Chain. We wouldn’t be able to do it without all your help!!

To all of our beloved customers who have asked how they can give back and send product to front line workers here it is.  If you would like to contribute, or see updates of where we have & will be delivering to please do so by visiting our page. Everything is much appreciated.
