Community Foundation of South Jersey

Check out this article by Neill Borowski about the Camden Food Fund for TAPinto.net - Local News and Digital Marketing. Camden residents who own small food-based businesses have a new source of loans to maintain or grow their businesses: the Camden Food Fund (https://lnkd.in/gj7niraH). The Fund will provide capital to small new and existing food-based business owners who live in Camden, face obstacles to accessing capital to maintain or grow their businesses, and participate in or help to advance a healthy, equitable local food economy. Quoted are Community Advisors Board members--Patricia Pena and Ajeenah "AJ" Riggs-- along with CFSJ staff Emma Freedman. Partners highlighted are Campbell's and Greenline Access Capital.

Charitable giving traditions are a big part of many peoples’ lives. The ways philanthropic values translate into action and behavior, however, vary widely from person to person. And that’s a good thing! Here’s what it might look like to be an “investor” type of philanthropist: –You like to get involved in community activities where you can act independently, rather than scheduling dedicated time. –You may feel that you often have more money than time. –You’re happy to write a check or purchase a product that supports a cause. #CharitableGiving #LiveGiveLoveSJ #Philanthropy
