VOORHEES, N.J. (April 21, 2026) — The new year brought new partnerships to the AAA South Jersey Gives Back program and the largest in-kind donation in AAA South Jersey’s history! Read the AAA South Jersey Gives Back 2026 first quarter highlights below.
VETERANS MULTI-SERVICE CENTER
In 2026, the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, AAA South Jersey is partnering with Veterans Multi-Service Center to honor our veterans all year long.
AAA South Jersey is providing Veterans Multi-Service Center 250 lifetime AAA memberships to distribute to the veterans it provides services to. The donation, valued at nearly $400,000, is the largest in-kind membership donation in AAA South Jersey’s history.
To kick off the partnership, the club donated $5,000 in January to help support VMC’s vital programs for veterans experiencing homelessness, unemployment, and other barriers to stability. Read more here.
KINGSWAY LEARNING CENTER
AAA South Jersey hosted students and staff from Kingsway Learning Center for two Kingsway Keepsakes — pop-up shops where students sell handcrafted decorations, items and candy. Our staff love decorating their desks with the seasonal items, and the Kingsway students enjoy real-world experience outside of the classroom.
Kingsway Learning Center provides an alternative educational environment designed specifically for the academic, therapeutic, social, and emotional development of students with multiple disabilities.
Additionally, AAA South Jersey was honored to join the Kingsway Development Committee, which is currently planning the fifth annual Kingsway Framing Our Future Art Auction fundraiser. Click here to learn more about this wonderful event and to buy tickets.
BOOKSMILES
AAA members donated approximately 750 books to BookSmiles, a local nonprofit organization that promotes childhood literacy, supports educators, and strengthens communities. Find out more about BookSmiles here.
Our Voorhees office — located at 700 Laurel Oak Road — accepts book donations year-round. In 2025, AAA South Jersey’s community donated over 6,625 books to BookSmiles and employees volunteered 26 hours sorting book donations.
ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION
In January, AAA South Jersey Gives Back committed a $10,500 sponsorship to the Animal Welfare Association’s Education Department. AAA South Jersey is providing 15 scholarships to ensure children can attend AWA’s summer camp regardless of financial barriers.
