June 20 at 10 a.m. the Board of Commissioners will join residents, volunteers, and partners at Cathedral Kitchen’s 50th Anniversary Community Block Party, celebrating five decades of service to the Camden community. The event honors Cathedral Kitchen’s longstanding mission of providing dignity, compassion, and hope to neighbors in need.
“For 50 years, Cathedral Kitchen has been a cornerstone of support in Camden, offering meals, support, and pathways to opportunity,” said Commissioner Jennifer Cooley Fleisher. “I encourage our community members to join us in celebrating this incredible milestone.”
The celebration will include free food prepared by Cathedral Kitchen’s culinary team and Culinary Arts Training Program alumni, along with family-friendly activities such as games, face painting, giveaways, and a performance by Mr. Hollywood DJ, the in-arena host for the Philadelphia Flyers. Virtua Health will offer onsite services, including Pediatric Mobile Services and free glucose and blood pressure screenings, and the Center for Aquatic Sciences’ CAUSE Teen Program will also host an interactive marine activity.
