Voorhees Township will be celebrating our second annual National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 2, from 6 to 9 p.m. This year, matching events will be held at Kresson Elementary School located at 7 School Lane and Osage Elementary School located at 112 Somerdale Road.
Meet your police officers, drug and alcohol educators, domestic violence advocates and numerous other public service providers. Join us for neighborhood competitions, carnival attractions, games, food and more. The evening activities are being sponsored by Acme Markets, Target, Hope Church and J-Dogs.
National Night Out is an annual community building campaign that began in 1984 and promotes police community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie striving to make our neighborhoods a safer and better place in which to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement, while encouraging a sense of community and providing a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together.
Citizens, law enforcement agencies, community groups, businesses, youth organizations and local, state, and federal officials from over 16,500 communities from all 50 states, US territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide will join forces to mark this year’s 33rd National Night Out. Over 38 million people participated in National Night Out last year.
The best way to prevent crime is to know your neighbors and your surroundings. National Night Out triumphs over a culture that isolates us from each other and allows us to rediscover our own communities.
