Battleship New Jersey Welcomes Nonprofits for Holiday Tree-Decorating Event

The historic Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial in Camden, New Jersey, kicked off its holiday season with a special event on Friday morning. Local nonprofits from South Jersey came together to decorate Christmas trees aboard the battleship, fostering a sense of community and connection among the organizations.

Representatives from local nonprofit groups such as Larc Norcross School, Inspira Health Foundation, Hopeworks, Bestwork Industries for the Blind, KB Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, CASA, and the Food Bank of South Jersey participated in the event. Children from Larc School also got involved in decorating the trees, which will remain on display throughout the holiday season.

The partnership between the battleship and local nonprofits highlights the ship's growing ties to the community. According to Patricia Egan Jones, a board member for both the Battleship New Jersey and Larc Norcross School, the event showcases the battleship's mission to educate young people about American history and the sacrifices made by those who served.

The event also provided an opportunity for nonprofits to share their work and impact with visitors. Shoes for Your Soul President Dawn Lewis said that being part of the event alongside her grandchildren felt special, as it allowed them to experience the battleship's holiday programming firsthand.

Representatives from other participating organizations expressed similar sentiments, including Janet Kotsakis, Chief People Officer of the Food Bank of South Jersey. She praised the battleship for its role in supporting local nonprofits and promoting community engagement.

The decorated trees will remain on display as part of the battleship's holiday programming, providing visitors with a chance to learn more about the nonprofits represented on board and their work across South Jersey.

It's like, the ship is more than just a historical landmark, it's a hub for community connection . And I love how they're making it easy for visitors to learn about all these amazing organizations doing vital work in South Jersey . Those decorated trees are gonna be so pretty and inspiring! Can't wait to check 'em out when I visit Camden this holiday season

just thinkin' about all those nonprofits comin' together like that is super inspiring! i mean, it's not every day u get to see ppl from different orgs buildin' relationships & colaboratin' for a good cause . and the battleship museum is doin' its part by creatin' a fun & educational experience for kids (and adults!) . i wish more institutions could learn from this example of community engagement & volunteerism .

man I'm so down for this event, it's like they're bringin' back that old school spirit from the 90s when everyone used to come together for these charity events . I mean, who doesn't love seein' some historic battleship get all decked out in lights and whatnot? It's like, you know, we should've done this more often back in the day, but I guess that's progress for ya... anyway, it's rad to see these local nonprofits gettin' involved and makin' a difference. And aw, that's so cool that some of 'em got their kiddos involved , like, teachin' 'em about history and stuff while they're havin' fun.

I mean, think about it... all these nonprofits coming together to decorate trees on a historic battleship? It's like they're trying to brainwash us into believing in some kind of fake sense of community . And what's with the whole "educating young people about American history" thing? Sounds like just an excuse to get them to come to the ship and soak up all that propaganda . I'm not saying it can't be a fun event or anything, but there's gotta be more to it than meets the eye...

OMG this is so cool!!! I'm low-key hyped that local nonprofits got together to deck the halls (or should I say, decks?) of the Battleship New Jersey! It's awesome that they could share their missions with visitors and raise awareness about their amazing work . And can we talk about how cute it is that kids from Larc School got involved in decorating trees? I'm all about community vibes and this event totally embodies that . Plus, who wouldn't want to see Christmas trees on a historic battleship? Mind. Blown.

It's not just about looks, though - it's also a chance for these organizations to connect and share their work with each other and with visitors. I love how the battleship is fostering a sense of community in South Jersey, especially when it comes to educating young people about American history . And can we talk about how cute are those kids from Larc School decorating the trees?

[SparkCraze]

This is so cool! I love how the Battleship New Jersey is getting involved in the community like this. It's amazing that they're welcoming local nonprofits to decorate trees and share their work with visitors. The fact that kids from Larc School got to be a part of it too is just awesome. ️ I'm sure it was such a great experience for everyone involved! And it's awesome that the battleship is supporting these organizations and promoting community engagement. We need more places like this in NJ!

I'm not sure why they're decorating ships like that... I mean, it seems nice and all but what's the point? Is it just for fun or is there something more to it? I guess if it brings people together and helps nonprofits get some visibility then that's cool . But honestly, who thought putting up Christmas trees on a ship was a good idea in the first place?

 

[GlyphNeon]

I'm so over this event , thinkin' it's just a buncha rich folks gettin' together to look at some trees and pretend like they're doin' somethin' for the community . I mean, come on, nonprofits are already gettin' all the love from the battleship, why do we need special events? It's just a fancy way of sayin' "we care about you, but only in a superficial way "

 

[ByteCode]

OMG, this is so cool! The Battleship New Jersey doing something like this for the community? It's literally bringing people together in the most amazing way! I mean, who wouldn't want to decorate a Christmas tree on an actual battleship? And it's not just about the trees, it's about all these incredible nonprofits coming together and supporting each other. That's what the holiday season is all about, right? ️ It's also so awesome that they're sharing their stories with visitors, it's like a big ol' Christmas party! I'm totes loving this, can we do more of this kind of thing?

 

[CrimsonZenith]

I love this , decorating Christmas trees on an actual battleship? Who needs IKEA when you can have Navy decor ! It's amazing to see how these local nonprofits came together to make it happen, not just for the sake of looks, but also for a good cause. I'm sure the kids from Larc School had an absolute blast , and I'm sure Dawn Lewis' grandkids did too, getting to experience the battleship's holiday vibes with their grandma . It's great to see community events like this that bring people together and promote connection among local organizations . The Food Bank of South Jersey should totally do a food drive here !

I'm telling you, something fishy is going on here... The Battleship New Jersey is just an excuse for the government to get all warm and fuzzy with the local nonprofits . It's like they're trying to distract us from the real issues while they're really up to no good.

I mean, have you seen the list of nonprofits that participated in this event? They're all doing great work, but what's the catch? What do they get out of it? I'm not saying anything bad about these organizations, but something just doesn't add up...

And let's be real, the kids from Larc School getting to decorate trees sounds like a great PR stunt to me. It's all about creating good vibes and making people feel happy and stuffy . But what about the real issues that affect our communities? Are we just going to ignore them while they're busy having fun with trees?

I'm not saying this is a conspiracy or anything, but I do think there's more to this story than meets the eye...
