At the heart of The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation lies a commitment to uplifting underserved communities through the empowerment of youth and families. Our flagship initiative, Get Ready Fest®, stands as a symbol of hope and assistance for those confronting challenges in the communities we serve in the states of NJ, PA, LA & OH. Now, more than ever, we are calling on your support to help us continue this vital work.

For more than ten years, Get Ready Fest® has been integral to our mission, delivering essential resources and services to over 12,000 families in need. Offering everything from wholesome food to health screenings, and from educational assistance to job resources, Get Ready Fest® provides crucial support to individuals grappling with adversity, economic difficulties, and the daily struggle to provide for their families.

Imagine a day where hundreds of families, facing the challenges of food scarcity, limited healthcare access, and financial difficulties, can find essential resources all in one location. Get Ready Fest® brings this vision to life!

This year, The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation is eager to renew our commitment to tackling the pressing issues in Camden, NJ, where poverty and food insecurity consistently affect about one-third of the residents, highlighting the substantial economic difficulties confronting the community.

Through Get Ready Fest® 2024, we will empower 1,000 pre-identified families in Camden, NJ, providing them with the resources they need not only to survive, but to thrive!

Get Ready Fest® is more than just a one-day event. It's a testament to the power of community and compassion. It's a celebration of resilience and strength in the face of adversity. And it's a reminder that when we come together, we can create meaningful change in the lives of those who need it most.

As we prepare for our 12th Get Ready Fest® event, we invite you to join us in creating positive change. Your support will enable us to broaden our impact, offer more resources, and significantly improve the lives of families in Camden.

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a significant impact on the lives of those who need it most.

Supplying over 50+ pounds of fresh and nutritious groceries, sufficient to sustain families for 7-10 days, addressing hunger and encouraging healthy diets.
Offering healthcare screenings and resources focused on early detection, disease prevention and primary care, improving health outcomes by connecting families with essential health checks, vaccinations, and wellness support, granting them crucial healthcare access.
Providing educational services, employment assistance, and wrap-around support, including subsidized benefits, helping to stabilize families, improve their overall well-being and economic stability and create pathways to long-term resilience and a more prosperous future.
Supporting seniors and veterans with needed services, honoring those who have contributed to our community, but who are often overlooked.
Facilitating haircuts and other fundamental needs, enhancing self-esteem and overall well-being.
Creating a Fun Zone filled with books, games, exhibits, and more guarantees that children who come along with their parents will have a delightful time during their stay.
