A Thanksgiving holiday meal tradition continues this year thanks to the generosity of a local anonymous family and group of prominent Camden organizations that have joined forces to bring holiday cheer to 1,500 Camden senior citizens.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, November 22, 2023, the\u00a0Camden Community Partnership<\/a>,\u00a0City of Camden<\/a>,\u00a0Office of the Mayor of Camden<\/a>,\u00a0Camden County Police Department<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0The Cooper Foundation<\/a>\u00a0delivered Thanksgiving meals to senior citizens across the City of Camden who might not otherwise have enough food to be able to enjoy the holiday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis tradition wouldn\u2019t be possible without our generous donors and dedicated volunteers who are sharing their time this holiday season to give back to the Camden community, including our own Cooper team members and members of Rutgers University Camden,\u201d said Philip A. Norcross, Esq., Chairman of The Cooper Foundation Board.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollaboration and community partnerships are key to the health and prosperity of our city, particularly during challenging times. With the current impact of inflation on food prices, it\u2019s our hope that this holiday meal provides joy and comfort this Thanksgiving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud to be a part of such a positive team effort and grateful to have outstanding partners in the Camden Community Partnership, the Camden County Police Department, and The Cooper Foundation,\u201d said Camden Mayor Victor G. Carstarphen. \u201cThrough this wonderful tradition, we are increasing food access and improving the general health throughout the Camden community.\u00a0These principles of caring, giving, and serving others are at the heart of the Thanksgiving holiday.\u00a0I commend our generous donors and all the volunteers who have helped provide these meals and thousands more over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCamden Community Partnership is proud to partner again this year with the City of Camden and the Cooper Foundation to support Camden\u2019s senior and disabled residents during the Thanksgiving holiday,\u201d said Dana Redd, President and CEO of Camden Community Partnership. \u201cThanksgiving is a time of gratitude and giving, and in that spirit, we want to ensure our most vulnerable Camden neighbors know they are valued and cared for by their community by providing a warm meal to enjoy. Combating food insecurity issues is at the core of our organization\u2019s mission. As we gather with our loved ones, let us also remember those who may be alone or unable to prepare a meal for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The turkey dinner giveaway initially began in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has become an ongoing Thanksgiving tradition to support senior citizens throughout Camden. The Cooper Foundation works with city leaders and community partners to canvass the city and personally deliver the 1,500 turkey dinners with all the fixings throughout a number of apartment complexes and senior housing facilities. Since the program began, The Cooper Foundation has distributed more than 6,000 Thanksgiving meals.<\/p>\n
