Camden Cares: Giving Back to a Veteran in Need

Every year our Camden Cares volunteers give back to those who have given so much by helping veterans, the elderly, and others in need across the United States.  What truly makes Camden Cares so special is the way our team members approach each project with compassion and enthusiasm when helping someone in need.  The way we feel after a project is priceless and we are happy that we have touched so many different people over the last 6 years.

In previous years we have worked with Charlotte Family Housing,  Starting Right Now, and Capital Area Food Bank to name a few.  With our volunteering efforts, we are humbled to be featured in PEOPLE's 2018 Companies that Care.

On October 18, 2018, our Los Angeles communities partnered with Rebuilding Together Long Beach to give back to our community in Long Beach, CA.  Our team members volunteered to assist a local retired veteran in need with yard work, painting, cleaning, siding repairs, window replacement, and much more.

This was a wonderful opportunity for us and we were thrilled we could make such a positive impact for veteran Joe and his family.  Here is what Joe’s daughter-in-law, Marlene had to say:

"My family and I cannot thank you and the team for everything you have done for us! Joe was thrilled! I love the compassion and understanding Gordana, Bill, the Entire Camden team extended to our desperate need to make Joe's life safe and healthy. You and your team are truly a blessing! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't believe how happy he is. That's worth more than words can express." (with heart emojis ending her message).

We are looking forward to another amazing opportunity like this one in 2019.
