Livingston Philanthropies, Inc. (LPI) founder and CEO Jeff Friedman has encouraged local organizations to plan service projects for the Livingston-based charity.
“At LPI, Livingston partnerships are the cornerstone of our charitable work,” he said. “I’m hoping that additional local organizations will join the Presbyterian Church of Livingston, Grace Lutheran Church, Temple B’nai Abraham, Temple Beth Shalom, Suburban Torah Center, Mt. Pleasant Middle School, the ECLC School, Collins School, Mandelbaum Barrett PC, the Livingston Elks, the Horseneck Riding Club, Willow Lake Day Camp, AAA Communications, and others in supporting the work of Livingston Philanthropies,” Friedman noted. “I am respectfully and enthusiastically inviting Livingston’s service, religious, education and business communities to plan service projects to help provide for extremely poor communities that exist just minutes away from Livingston.”
Friedman continued, “Perhaps a Tribune reader has access to needed products in volume, either small or large? The homeless and families living below the poverty line need and will use literally everything. Why not reallocate our resources to those who have few or none at all?”
Those who are interested may send Friedman an email at [email protected] or visit LPI’s website at njhomeless.org. “Let’s get creative! All contributions and product donations are tax-deductible,” he said.

The law firm’s top executives also donated $5,000 to support LPI’s initiatives. “I’ve just learned that partner Brian Block, chairman of the firm’s charity committee, is at it again in 2023 with the help of colleagues,” said Friedman. “I look forward to reporting back to Tribune readers and invite local organizations to join Mandelbaum Barrett PC in partnering with LPI.”
