Yesterday, we were proud to partner with Rutgers University School of Communication And Information at the BeCOMM Talk Show at The Yard on College Avenue! A special thank you to Charles Parkerson and Adonis Melendez for tabling at this event and connecting with the Rutgers community.

Through our toy drive, we brought the campus and community together to support local families and children. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with the Rutgers community while supporting a cause that reminds us of the importance of kindness, generosity, and giving back.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, donated a toy, and helped make this initiative possible. Every donation, big or small, makes a big difference and reminds children and families that their community cares.

We’re grateful to Rutgers University–New Brunswick for welcoming us to the Talk Show and helping us share the spirit of giving. When we come together with a common purpose, we can make a meaningful difference and bring a little extra joy to our communities!

💙 When we serve together, we build more than a space—we build community.

Our Echelon Board recently rolled up their sleeves and got to work on our Chapel Renovation Project! 🔨

We are grateful for these young professionals who are not only committed to supporting our mission, but are willing to get hands-on and become part of the work of creating a renewed space for spiritual growth, fellowship, worship, and community connection.

This is what Echelon is all about—bringing together young professionals who want to use their time, talents, and leadership to make a meaningful difference in our community.

✨ And we’re looking for more people to join us!

If you’re a young professional under 40 who wants to build relationships, serve your community, and be part of positive change, Echelon has a place for you.

Come roll up your sleeves and be part of something meaningful! 💙

🎉 Celebrating Service Above Self! 🎉

Last Friday, we had the privilege of attending the Rotary Club of Trenton, New Jersey Installation Dinner and celebrating as John Murphy was inducted as the club’s new president, along with the rest of the incoming leadership team.

We are especially excited to celebrate John—not only as a fellow Rotarian, but as someone who has faithfully served alongside us through our Canteen Program throughout the year.

John truly embodies Rotary’s motto: “Service Above Self.” ❤️

Whether it’s the middle of a summer heat wave or a winter snowstorm, John is ready to go wherever he is needed to help provide meals, encouragement, and connection to neighbors who may be wondering where their next meal will come from.

John also serves on our Advisory Board, giving his time and experience to help identify opportunities to strengthen our mission and better serve our community.

We are incredibly grateful for John and for all of our fellow Rotarians who continue to partner with us in serving our neighbors.

Congratulations, President John Murphy, and congratulations to the entire Rotary leadership team! We look forward to another year of partnership, service, and making a difference together. 💙

🥫 Community in Action: Bank of America Community Service Day

Earlier this month, we were grateful to welcome the Bank of America team to The Salvation Army Trenton Citadel Corps for a Community Service Day!

Their team helped us stock, organize, and clean our Choice Food Pantry, making a meaningful difference in our ability to serve our neighbors.

As we recognize Hunger Awareness Month, we are reminded that hunger is not an abstract issue. There are still neighbors in our community who go to bed unsure of where their next meal will come from.

That’s why our corps continues to respond to this critical need through programs like our Choice Food Pantry and Canteen Meals Program, providing food and connection to individuals and families in our community.

We are so grateful to Bank of America for giving their time and energy to help us prepare to serve even more people. ❤️

Thank you for helping us make sure that our neighbors know they are not alone!
