Merry Christmas, and welcome to the Camden Neighborhood Center on the Internet!

We are a Christian social-service agency in the city of Camden that strives to serve the local community by offering programs for the entire family.  Our child care and youth programs are a mainstay of the Center’s services, providing a safe and enriching environment for children of working parents, some of whom attended our programs when they were young.  Our senior adult program provides transportation and a location for senior citizens to gather for  fellowship and Bible study on a weekly basis.  Our soup kitchen prepares lunches from Monday through Friday for all who come and emergency food boxes for families in times of crisis. We also have a growing youth program which engages teens in programming that is vibrant and life-affirming.

 

This Christmas, we are getting ready to celebrate with our neighbors here in the city. We are preparing for our Christmas food baskets, which contain a turkey and other festive holiday meal staples, which will be distributed on December 22nd. These holiday meals are made possible by the generosity of our supportive churches and individuals during  the Praise for the Harvest food collection back in November.

 

Our Christmas Tree Lighting will take place on December 2nd at 6pm. We will be lighting a new evergreen tree planted on the grounds of the Neighborhood Center, and enjoying Christmas carols, hot chocolate and candy canes. Please plan to join us if you can – all are welcome!

 

Our afterschool students will be taking their act on the  road, singing Christmas carols, each Friday in December.  We will be visiting senior centers and residences, offices and other locations – maybe we’ll see you!  Give us a call if you would like to schedule our itinerant carol singers to serenade your office or workplace!

 

Finally, remember to add the Neighborhood Center to your Christmas list this year. Your gifts of time, food and toys, and monetary donations are more important now than ever as we see need increasing here in the city.  You can donate quickly and easily online by clicking on the “Donate Now” button on this page.

 

Thank you for your support! The Neighborhood Center truly reflects our neighbors, staff, churches, corporate partners, and you! We are your mission in the city of Camden!
