Moorestown – In honor of February being African American History Month, Senator Troy Singleton is hosting his monthly community service event at the Dr. James Still Historic Office Site and Visitor Center. The “Serve with Senator Singleton” event will be held at the Dr. James Still Historic Office Site and Visitor Center, 210 Medford-Mt. Holly Road in Medford on Saturday, February 7, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The Senator and a group of volunteers will be tasked with painting and moving cabinets and shelving units. Anyone interested in volunteering can sign-up on the Senator’s website: www.troysingleton.com/jamesstill

“With February being African American History Month, the Dr. James Still Historic Site is a perfect place to volunteer our services as Dr. Still was a successful African American physician whose legacy is important to protect and preserve,” said Senator Singleton. “Dr. Still’s historic office and visitor center provide education to this community and beyond with presentations and trails that surround the location. I look forward to working with our volunteers to improve this space.”

The mission of the Dr James Still Historic Site and Education Center is to preserve the legacy of Dr. James Still, known as the "Black Doctor of the Pines," and the town he called home. Dr. Still practiced medicine, specifically focusing on medical botany, and became the third largest landowner in Burlington County, NJ in the 19th century. The Association has expanded their community involvement to include health and wellness programming, presentations on Dr. Still, and other more.

Each month, Senator Singleton crowd-sources a team of volunteers to help with a particular community service project. The event at the Dr. James Still Historic Site will be the Senator’s 82nd “Serve with Senator Singleton” event since becoming State Senator in 2018. Previous volunteer efforts include: indoor and outdoor clean-up days, animal welfare projects, clothing and supply drives, painting projects, and community event set-up and staffing. To date, more than 3,200 hours have been donated by volunteers to local community service projects.

"I am guided by the idea that service is the rent we pay for living on this earth. These monthly community service events have been a priority for since becoming State Senator and they will continue to be. They have brought together people of different backgrounds, ages, and perspectives for a common purpose - to be of service to their community," continued Singleton.
