ShopRite of West Berlin celebrated ShopRite’s Partners In Caring by taking part in the Help Bag Hunger event. Berlin Township Police, Berlin Ambulance, the West Berlin Fire Department, and I all participated at ShopRite of West Berlin for ShopRite’s Partners In Caring Help Bag Hunger event. We were invited to help bag groceries for customers, and it was a great way to spend time with neighbors while supporting a cause that matters right here at home.

September is Hunger Action Month, and this annual event helps raise both awareness and donations for families in our community who may be struggling. Every bag, every conversation, and every dollar at checkout makes a difference.

Thank you to ShopRite of West Berlin and the Partners In Caring team for including us, and thank you to everyone who stopped by, donated, or simply said hello. Together we can help fight hunger in Berlin Township.

Grab the sleeping bags, pack the s’mores supplies, and mark your calendars, Berlin Township’s annual Family Campout is returning to the Luke Avenue Recreational Complex, and this year we’re pairing it once again with our Annual Fall Festival for a full weekend of community fun.

Saturday, October 3 through Sunday, October 4.

This is one of those rare nights when the whole township gets to slow down together. Pitch a tent, say hello to neighbors you haven’t seen in months, and spend an evening under the stars. We’ve planned a big community campfire for stories and laughter, live band to keep the energy going, a hearty dinner Saturday night, and breakfast waiting for you Sunday morning.

Bring the kids, the grandparents, the dogs (on leash), and anyone who loves a good fall weekend outdoors. It’s simple, local, and exactly the kind of night that reminds us why this community is special.

To sign up, complete the required registration form included in this post and return it as directed. You can also call 856-767-1854 or visit Berlintwp.com for more information.

We can’t wait to see you there. If you have questions, the Township office is happy to help.

Hope to see your family at the Family Campout!

As we observe National Preparedness Month this September, we remain vigilant here in Berlin Township, ensuring that our first responders are always ready to answer the call, no matter the situation.

In the event of an emergency, Berlin Township has a system in place to ensure that vital information reaches our residents as quickly as possible. We use our Instant Alert system to keep everyone informed about emergency road closures, public safety concerns, and community events. To subscribe to the Instant Alert system, simply fill out the form and send it in via mail, message, or text me once it’s completed.

This month also marks the anniversary of September 11th, a solemn reminder of the indispensable role our first responders play in our daily lives. Please join me in expressing our deepest gratitude to the heroic men and women who selflessly suit up every day to protect and serve our community. Thank you, Berlin Township Police, Berlin Ambulance, West Berlin Fire Department and Berlin Township Office of Emergency Management.

Thank you,
Phyllis Magazzu
Mayor of Berlin Township

Mark your calendars!

Berlin Township’s Annual Fallfest is back, and this year we’re mixing it up!

We’ve added a new inflatable and a challenge we think you’re going to love: the Meltdown! Jump, duck, dodge, and stay on your feet. Then see if you can beat the spinning jousting game. Do you have what it takes to remain standing?
Come out, give it a try, and enjoy a fun afternoon with your neighbors.

Saturday, October 3rd

We can’t wait to see you there!

As we mark the start of the Jewish New Year, I want to send a warm wish from our family to yours. May this year be full of health, peace, and the kind of everyday blessings that matter most: time with the people we love, safety in our homes, and a community that looks out for one another.

To everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah, I hope the days ahead bring reflection, renewal, and a little extra sweetness around your table.

As Mayor of Berlin Township, I was honored to attend the 25th Anniversary 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at American Legion Post 371 in Gibbsboro. Twenty-five years later, this solemn gathering still reminds us of the lives we lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families whose lives were forever changed on that tragic morning.

On September 11, 2001, our nation was attacked. Nearly 3,000 innocent people were taken from us in New York, at the Pentagon, and in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Among them were hundreds of first responders who gave everything so others might live. Their courage, and the courage of all who served in the days and years that followed, must never fade from our memory.

I was especially proud to see Berlin Township represented by our Police Department, Ambulance, and Fire Department. They stood alongside fellow first responders and neighbors from across our communities in a moving show of unity and respect. Their presence was a powerful reminder that the spirit of service and sacrifice is not only history, it is alive every day in our township.

We honor those we lost. We thank those who still stand ready to protect us. And we pledge to keep teaching the next generation why this day matters.
We will never forget.
