Stamp Out Hunger Westfield 2025
Almost 11% of all New Jersey residents experience food insecurity. That includes children. You can help alleviate some of this burden by joining in with the Stamp Out Hunger Westfield 2025 campaign.

- Where: Your Mailbox
- When: Saturday, May 10th, 2025
Stamp Out Hunger Westfield 2025
How can you help Stamp Out Hunger? Well, gather up non-perishable food items (soup, vegetables, fruit, pasta, sauces, peanut butter, mac and cheese, etc.). Some pet food may also be acceptable. Any pet food collected will be distributed to local animal shelters. Please do not donate frozen items, homemade food, expired food, or anything in a glass container. Place them in a bag and put the bag out next to your mailbox on the morning of Saturday, May 10th. Then, when the US Postal Service comes by to drop off your mail, they’ll pick up the bag of food and take it with them. All food collected from this drive gets redistributed back into the community’s food pantries.
Tour of Notable Westfield Homes
Once you place your donation by your mailbox, head out to the Tour of Notable Westfield Homes. This self-guided tour includes five distinctive Westfield homes for your viewing pleasure. At each home, guests are treated to live music, refreshments, and a chance to win a fun door prize. Tickets cost $50 if purchased in advance at Baron’s Drug Store (243 E Broad St) or $55 on the day of the event. All proceeds benefit the New Jersey Festival Orchestra.
I am grateful to all who entrusted me with your life-changing real estate moves and to all who referred me to your family and friends!

Build Westfield LEGO Edition
One of the most beloved children’s toys of the last 100 years is LEGOs. Founded in 1932, LEGOs encourage children of all ages to use their imagination to create whatever their heart desires. The Westfield Historic Preservation Commission partnered with Westfield’s Recreation Department to bring history and fun to our community with their Build Westfield LEGO Edition.

Build Westfield LEGO Edition
Now in its third year, Build Westfield wants children and their parents to remember what iconic Westfield buildings of today and yesteryear looked like. How? By using more than 60,000 LEGO bricks to recreate them in person. Teams choose which school, church, historical home, or municipal building they want to build. Then, each team’s entry goes on display upon completion for everyone to see.
Each team can contain up to four people for the build. It must include at least one adult. No one under six years old can participate. After a team finishes their recreation, they will receive a town map with the location of their actual building so that they can go see the real thing in person.
Registration for LEGO Build
Westfield residents pay $45 per team. Non-residents must pay $50 per team. Organizers limited the total amount of teams to 50 (one team per historical building). So, the earlier you register, the better your chances to participate in this fun event. To register, simply visit the Westfield NJ website here.

Westfield Jigsaw Puzzle Sale 2025
The past two sales turned out to be such a raging success that the Friends of the Westfield Memorial Library decided to host another jigsaw puzzle sale this year. Puzzles range from just a few pieces to accommodate younger children all the way up to 3000 pieces for the more seasoned puzzler. All puzzles for sale come donated courtesy of the good men and women of our community. So all money raised from these sales gets invested right back into our community through the great work that the Friends of the Westfield Memorial Library performs.
Accepting Donations
If you have old puzzles that you would like to donate, you may drop them off at the library between 10 am and 4 pm today (January 17th), 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday (January 18th), or 1 pm to 4 pm on Sunday (January 19th). Just make sure each box contains all of the pieces needed to complete the puzzle. Then, tape it together to ensure all of the pieces remain intact when you drop the puzzles off.
Volunteers Needed
The Friends of the Westfield Memorial Library also need help organizing the puzzles and assisting customers during the actual sales dates. If you would like to help, please visit the FWML website here to sign up for a specific date and time. Thank you.

Westfield Holiday House Decorating Contest 2024
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with their loved ones. With it taking place so late this year, that leaves less than three weeks from today before we celebrate Christmas. And in this town, that means just one thing. The Westfield Holiday House Decorating Contest 2024.

- Where: Westfield NJ homes
- Registration Ends: December 10th

- Contact: Westfield Recreation Department
Westfield Holiday House Decorating Contest 2024
Registration for this year’s Holiday House Decorating Contest is open now. However, if you wish to participate, you must register by the end of the day on December 10th. Then, send one photo of your decorated home to the Recreation Department via email by end of day on December 11th. Westfield then adds your home’s address to the list of homes entered into the contest and posts the complete list on its Facebook page as well as the City’s official website on December 13th to start the judging period by the public. The homes that receive the top three number of votes win gift cards ranging from $25 to $100.
Contest Rules
You must be a Westfield resident and agree to allow photos of your home to be posted to both the town’s official website and their Facebook page along with your family’s name and address. Additionally, you agree to keep your decorations up throughout the entire duration of judging (December 13th to 23rd). Only one person per household needs to register. When putting up decorations, remember that only the decorations seen from curbside will be judged for the contest. No professional installations will be considered. Only homes decorated by their occupants can be entered into the contest.
Westfield Christmas Tree Lot Open for Business
The Westfield Area Y Men’s Club Christmas tree lot opened for business last weekend. We currently stock hundreds of various sizes of balsams and firs. Our lot stays open from 5 pm to 9 pm every Monday through Friday and 9 am to 6 pm every Saturday and Sunday through December 22nd (or while supplies last). Keep this in mind, though. We tend to sell out very quickly. So, if you want to bring one of these beauties home, you need to get here sooner rather than later. And if you see me, make sure you say “hi”. I’ll be helping everyone load up their cars most days. I’d love to hear from you.
