Get Ready Fest® 2024: Empowering Camden Families, One Resource at a Time

This year’s Get Ready Fest® was nothing short of amazing! Hosted by The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation, the event brought together community members, partners, and volunteers to provide essential support to 1,000 Camden families. From health screenings and financial literacy resources to nutritious groceries, school supplies, and even free haircuts, Get Ready Fest® offered everything families needed to start the school year off right.

A huge thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, American Water Charitable Foundation, and our Title Sponsor, Five Below Foundation. Their support, along with contributions from organizations like Virtua Health, Philabundance, and Sysco Food Company, made this day possible.

Get Ready Fest® is more than just a one-day event – it’s a powerful movement dedicated to breaking down barriers and building stronger, healthier communities. We are so proud of the impact we made in Camden this year and look forward to continuing our mission to empower youth and families in need.

Stay tuned for more ways to get involved, and thank you to everyone who made this event such a success!
