 Mayor Tony Perry and Recycling and Clean Communities Coordinator Jessi Lynn Ticino proudly smile with all the donations from our Earth Day Food Drive with local nonprofit Move for Hunger!
|
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in our Earth Day Food Drive earlier today! Middletown Township was honored to partner with local nonprofit Move for Hunger to fight food waste.
According to Feeding America, approximately 40% of high-quality food is thrown away rather than eaten every year. This Earth Day, residents like YOU helped decrease that number by donating good, unused foods!
Once again, Happy Earth Day from Middletown!

At Monday's meeting, the Township Committee proclaimed April as National Donate Life Month. Two representatives from NJ Sharing Network and one Middletown resident all spoke about the importance of organ and tissue transplantation and how it has directly impacted their lives.
One organ donor can save 8 lives and one tissue donor can restore health to over 75 others.
Today is National Donate Life Blue & Green Day! We encourage our residents to wear blue and green to help bring awareness to this important cause.
