Herbert and Minnie Cole Community Center
We offer a wide range of support services designed to strengthen families and reduce hardship. Our programs include childcare, food pantry assistance, clothing support, housing assistance, youth outreach, crime prevention and reintegration services, financial literacy education, and mental health support. Each service is built to meet real needs while helping individuals build stability and resilience.
Our services are available to individuals and families who need support, especially those facing hardship, housing insecurity, food shortages, or personal challenges. We welcome community members of all ages, including children, parents, seniors, and youth. Our goal is to ensure every person feels respected, supported, and connected to helpful resources in a safe environment.
We primarily serve Camden and Gloucester Counties, focusing on supporting local families and strengthening surrounding communities. If you live outside these areas, you are still welcome to reach out. Depending on your situation, we may be able to assist you directly or connect you with trusted partner organizations closer to your location.
To receive food or clothing support, you can contact us directly for current distribution days, times, and eligibility details. Our team will guide you through the process and help you access what you need with dignity and respect. We work hard to make support simple, welcoming, and accessible for individuals and families.
Our work is rooted in deep community history and a legacy of service built on compassion and trust. We focus on more than short-term help by addressing root causes of vulnerability through prevention, restoration, and resilience-building programs. People who come to us often say they feel seen, valued, and supported like family.
You can support our mission by volunteering your time, donating food, clothing, or funds, or partnering with us through community programs and events. Every contribution helps strengthen families and expand services for those who need them most. Contact us to learn current needs, volunteer opportunities, and ways to collaborate for lasting impact.
