Congressman Kim Hosts 72nd Town Hall Honoring Black History Month

Last Friday, Congressman Kim held his 72nd town hall in Willingboro to honor Black History Month and share updates about his recent work in Congress! We were honored to be joined by Willingboro Mayor Kaya McIntosh and a group of terrific guest speakers. During the event, former Willingboro Mayor Martin Nock spoke about his membership in the first Black fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, and the organization's commitment to service; Sarah Holley, Social Action Chair of the Rancocas Valley, Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, discussed education, advocacy, and community service; and lastly, Congressman Kim was joined by Patricia Lindsay Harvey, Chair of the Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority, who has worked closely with our office to secure Community Project Funding for clean water and well upgrades.

We are grateful to everyone who joined our conversation commemorating Black History Month and highlighting the important work our speakers have accomplished throughout our community!

Congratulations Krish!

Later at his town hall, Congressman Kim was also able to award a Congressional Silver and Bronze Medal to Krish, a student in Manalapan. We are so impressed with his work to uplift others around him through over 200 hours of tutoring!

Remembering and Learning from Mistakes in History

On Monday, we helped observe the Day of Remembrance for the Incarceration of Japanese Americans by our own government. This day is an important reminder of the discrimination and hate AAPI communities have withstood and continue to battle. We must always stand together to work toward a more equitable future.

Roebling Museum Receives New Grant!

The local Roebling Museum helps tell stories of American innovation, immigration, industry, and family, and the incredible use of Roebling Wire for some of our nation's most iconic bridges! We were excited to celebrate recent news that they received a new grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Helping preserve the history of New Jersey steelworkers is such a great use of federal grant funding!

Second Service Spotlight of the Year!

This week, we were excited to share our February Service Spotlight, Mary Beth! Mary Beth believes, “you don’t need a lot of time to make a difference.” A few hours here and there, she makes an incredible impact across our local community helping out wherever she can. Read her full story and consider nominating our next spotlight from our local community!
