Don’t let your free supermarket turkey go to waste! The First Presbyterian Church of Haddonfield, 20 Kings Highway East, will be collecting frozen, double bagged turkeys on Sunday, Nov. 22 to be taken to “Your Food Shelf” in Camden, and distributed to families in need. Look for us in the church parking off of Chestnut Street from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Of course it doesn’t have to be a free turkey we will take any frozen turkey or cash donations. Any questions please call Margo Dark at (609) 238–0694.

LUCY (“Lifting Up Camden’s Youth”) Outreach is a non-profit in Camden that provides a wide array of services for youth ages 12 to19. At least five times each week, young people gather to engage in a variety of programs organized around one of four areas of youth development: educational, service-oriented, spiritual and social.
Every holiday season from late November through December, we hold a wreath sale to benefit the program. Store and wreath details can be found in the attached flyer.
This year we were lucky to have a storefront donated to us at 117 Kings Highway East in downtown Haddonfield. The store makes it easy for everyone to purchase wreaths, poinsettias and other decorations in preparation for the holidays. It is also a great opportunity for customers to meet the youth who are benefited directly from their purchase of the aforementioned items.
