The Moorestown Community House is an integral part of our town and is certainly worthy of our support. There are no members: everyone is welcome. Won't you join us in making a tax-deductible contribution to the Community House? No matter what its size, your contribution will ensure that the Community House will continue to server Moorestown in the years ahead.

A great community tradition
Originally funded by industrialist and Moorestown resident Eldridge Johnson and a town-wide fund drive in the 1920's, the Moorestown Community House has been the center of our town's social, cultural and recreational activities for more than 80 years.

If you've lived in town for a while, chances are you or your children have been in the Community House for one of any number of events or activities.

We would like to take this opportunity to answer some of the questions that are asked most frequently.

What goes on at the Community House?
We provide meeting, office and programming space to a wide variety of non-profit organizations at a very low cost. Our current full-time tenants include senior day care, a school for children with language-based learning differences, and a support organization for victims of violent crimes and their families. Other activities include meetings, seminars, wedding and baby showers, birthday parties, family reunions, anniversary parties, craft bazaars, pool parties, holiday receptions, bridge games, dances and dance lessons, drama, lap swimming, therapeutic water exercise, swimming lessons, basketball, volleyball and much more. Last year, total functions in meeting rooms exceeded 1,200. In addition, there were more than 1,210 separate basketball rentals and more than 2,040 hours of pool use.

Who owns the Community House?
We are a private non-profit organization governed by a Board of Trustees. We receive no tax money or any other governmental assistance, nor do we get assistance from any charitable organization.

How does the Community House support itself?
We have three main funding sources - room rental fees, income from a modest investment fund and donations from people like you.

Why is it necessary for the Community House to charge room rental fees?
Rental fees are used exclusively to pay the building's day-to-day operating expenses such as utilities and staffing.

When I donate money, where does it go?
Funds from donations are used for capital projects that cannot be supported out of the operating budget. Your generous donations have allowed us to make needed repairs and improvements over the years. Thanks to your help, we have accomplished a lot. Our main floor is accessible to all members of the community regardless of physical condition. Our pool has systems that control temperature and humidity, and balance the chemistry of the water. Our gym is air-conditioned, allowing us to hold functions in that room year-round. Much remains to be done. The list of needed improvements is long and it runs the gamut from replacing the pool exterior windows to rebuilding the back patio and resurfacing our parking lot. Your tax-deductible contribution, no matter its size, will ensure that this unique and special place will be available for use by generations yet to come.

How can I reserve a room?
Give us a call at (856) 235-0326 ext. 100 anytime between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Tell us the type of function you have in mind; the number that will be attending, and the time and date you want to hold the function. We'll work with you to determing the room and layout that best suits your needs.

Do you rent your indoor pool for parties?
Absolutely. Our pool party package includes exclusive use of our heated pool and a party room for a surprisingly modest fee. Call us at (856) 235-0326 for details.
