Other collection sites include Senator Singleton's Legislative Office, located at 400 North Church Street, Ste. 260, in Moorestown, as well as all Burlington County offices. 

Don't forget to send your child back to school with a fresh haircut, thanks to Singleton. The Senator is sponsoring his 7th Free Back to School Haircut event, taking place on Saturday, September 4 at Mogul's Barbershop in Cinnaminson from 8AM to 4PM. The annual event has been taking place since 2015.

The children must have a valid ID from a school in the 7th Legislative District, which includes Bordentown Township, Bordentown City and Fieldsboro, as well as Beverly, Burlington City, Burlington Township, Cinnaminson, Delanco, Delran, Edgewater Park, Florence, Moorestown, Mount Laurel, Palmyra, Riverside, Riverton and Willingboro.
