On Saturday, November 23, 2019, Cooper kicked-off the holiday season by donating 1,000 turkeys to community groups, faith-based organizations, and the South Jersey Food Bank to benefit Camden residents. The turkeys were provided to a wide network of community groups for distribution to residents in need in time for Thanksgiving.
“We believe that our mission extends beyond the boundaries of our hospital to the community we have called home for more than 130 years,” said George E. Norcross III, Chairman of the Board of Trustee at Cooper University Health Care. “Working with many great community organizations, we are happy to be able to provide Thanksgiving turkeys to one thousand Camden families this year.”
A special thank you to those employees who volunteered their time on Saturday morning to help with the distribution.
