KROC NOTICE: We have closely followed the news coming out of Governor Murphy’s office as well as news from Philadelphia. Based on current COVID-19 stats, we will be pivoting our operation to essential services. We will endeavor to support Camden County with our emergency food pantry, essential childcare, and Christmas assistance to over 1,500 families. The Kroc Center will suspend aquatic, fitness, and recreational membership services from November 28th until February 1st, 2021. During this time, we will utilize our resources to best aid our community. VIEW ALL CLOSURES >

WE CARE about parents’ concerns.
WE CARE about your child’s education.
WE CARE about the safety of your household.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and movement away from the traditional school schedule, The Salvation Army has looked at what it means to “meet human needs”, a goal that comes directly from our mission statement, and believes that a child care program for the 2020-21 academic year is part of supporting this mission. We believe that youth in our community should have the opportunity to:
- Have physiological needs met
- Be in a safe place
- Have positive adults who help young people discover who they are, develop the abilities needed to shape their own lives, and learn how to engage and contribute to the world around them.
For many students, school plays an important role in making this happen, but with reduced hours in the school building a gap emerges that the Kroc Center can step in to fill.
