Get Involved
Readington Starfish was started by a consortium of churches over a dozen years ago. It is a community based volunteer organization that operates an emergency food pantry, assists local residents with emergency needs and provides holiday food “baskets” to families in need. Starfish has no administrative costs. 100% of your donation is returned directly to the community.  Thank you!!

Social Services will be collecting school supplies for needy Township students through the month of August.  Donations may be dropped off at the Municipal Building between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
