CHANGE A LIGHT! PROJECT PORCHLIGHT DAY!
Today (Saturday, Aug. 15) is Project Porchlight Day in Bloomfield! Volunteers will be meeting met at 10:00 a.m. at Watchung Presbyterian Church (375 Watchung Ave.) to receive instructions, t-shirts, maps, and light bulbs. They‘ll then fanned out to neighborhoods in Bloomfield to do two things: (1) give each household one free energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulb, and (2) ask residents to sign a simple pledge to change a light to a more energy efficient one. (If you didn’t sign up but want to help, just show up at 10 a.m. at the church, and we’ll assign you a street.) All volunteers will returned by 2:00 p.m. to report back in.
For those of you at home, we won’t didn’t get to every neighborhood, but we‘ll did get to quite a few. Please welcome our volunteers warmly. You’ll recognize them from their Project Porchlight t-shirts and the green bags of light bulbs they’ll be carrying. If you have any questions about whether the person at your door is one of our volunteers, please call the Bloomfield Police Desk at 973-680-4100 and give them the volunteer’s name, which they can check against our list.

Project Porchlight’s Bloomfield Blitz will contribute 10 points toward Sustainable Jersey certification if we can get 1,200 pledges to change a light. You can also sign the pledge at our website!
