One of the oldest Federated Women’s Club in New Jersey, The Porch Club of Riverton was founded in 1890 by eight young women who met on a porch as a reading circle each week. Riverton's Porch Club has a proud history of service to the community, the county and the state. Porch Club members meet on the first Tuesday of each month, October through May, and departments hold meetings and plan activities according to their programs. The club is organized into several departments and committees. Porch Club members give many hours of volunteer service through civic, religious and service organizations of their choice.
Membership is unlimited and new members are welcomed after being proposed and endorsed by a member in good standing. It continues to be “a center of thought and action for the women of Riverton” – as well as for others in the community – as was stated as its purpose so many years ago.
