Celebrating Culture. Honoring Heritage. Holding Community.

On December 26, families across Camden will gather to celebrate Kwanzaa—not just as a holiday, but as a living reminder of who we are and what we owe one another.

The image you see here tells a familiar Camden story:
generations together, children centered, culture embraced, and joy shared.
It reflects the heart of our community—elders passing wisdom, parents building legacy, and children learning that they belong.

This year, Camden Parent & Student Union (CPSU) is hosting a Community Kwanzaa Celebration focused on:

🕯️ A meaningful candle lighting ceremony
🎨 A joyful and educational Children’s Kwanzaa experience
🤝 A community gathering rooted in unity, purpose, and collective care

But this celebration does not happen on its own.

💛 Why We’re Asking for Your Support

Your donation helps us:

Provide free or low-cost access for families and children
Cover program supplies, cultural educators, and children’s activities
Ensure elders, parents, and youth can celebrate together in a safe, welcoming space
Keep Kwanzaa accessible as a community tradition

For many Camden families, this may be their only Kwanzaa celebration of the season.

✨ Giving Is a Kwanzaa Value

Kwanzaa teaches us Ujima (collective work and responsibility) and Ujamaa (cooperative economics)—that we rise when we give together.

Every contribution is an act of unity.

🕯️ Help Us Light the Candles

Your donation ensures that when the candles are lit on December 26, they represent more than tradition—they represent community love, shared responsibility, and hope for our children’s future.

Thank you for standing with Camden families.
Thank you for investing in culture.
Thank you for giving.
