Homegrown Moorestown’s Santa stroll returned on Dec. 21, with proceeds from the event supporting the Main Street beauty that's known to locals as the Community House of Moorestown.

“At its core, it (the Santa stroll) was founded to help support the community house," explained Homegrown Moorestown co-founder Celie Coleman, "and we’re returning this year with a goal to be able to provide an even bigger donation because they (the community center) share such a core value of ours, of a community meeting place and gathering.”

Participants strolled or ran for one or three miles through town with friends and family and wore their best holiday attire like Santa costumes and hats, reindeer and snowman outfits. Guests gathered at the Community House afterwards as a cheery way to recap the morning and afternoon with festive music, refreshments and vendors.

This year’s sponsors were Keating Law Firm, Wright Choice Therapy and Pleasant Valley Dentistry.

The purpose of the MLK Day Challenge at the Westampton library is to encourage participation in community service projects.

The Volunteer Center of Burlington County will hold its 20th annual MLK Day Challenge at the library’s main branch in Westampton on Monday, Jan. 19, at 10 a.m.

The purpose of the challenge is to encourage county residents to join thousands of Americans across the country in remembering and memorializing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by participating in service projects in their communities.

It’s also a way to honor King's legacy of tolerance, peace and equality by meeting community needs and making the holiday a day of community service.

“It’s a meaningful day of service and in terms of the inspirational life of (King), I think that people definitely want to be celebrating that as a positive thing,” said Michael Pippin, the volunteer center’s director.

Special to The Sun “Long-term, I’m really interested in trying to build out a stronger connection between the research that we do in labs and the way that it applies to people in global health," said scholarship recipient Maya Butani.

Moorestown High School alumna and Princeton University senior Maya Butani has been named a Marshall Scholar recipient to pursue two years of graduate study in the United Kingdom.

Butani was one of 43 recipients selected from a pool of more than 1,000 applicants from colleges and universities across the country.

Overall objectives for the Marshall Scholarship - according to its website - are to enable intellectually distinguished young Americans, their country’s future leaders, to study in the U.K. and to motivate scholars who will be ambassadors from the U.S. to the kingdom, strengthening British-American understanding.

The recipients are chosen by the eight regional U.S. committees.

Moorestown's residents and business owners are invited to attend a public forum on "Water Main Replacement Project, Phase 3" at Town Hall on Wednesday, Dec. 17, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Phase 3: Main Street between Chester Avenue and Church Street

The tentative plan for phase 3 of the project is still being finalized, and residents and businesses in the area are invited to attend the public discussion to provide feedback. At this time, the proposed plan is to schedule night work along Main Street for the summer of 2026.

Why is this work important?

Homes along Main Street and connected streets are served by two aging water mains - one about 75 to 80 years old, the other around 100. As part of a multi-phase project, both mains will be replaced with modern pipe, and the road will be repaved once installation is complete. This project is a major capital investment in Moorestown’s infrastructure.
