The transition from the shelter’s previous location at 523 Stevens St. in Camden began with a move of furniture, supplies, and other resources after breakfast was served on Friday, December 15. The new site was already set-up for breakfast and other services by the following Monday. “The relocation of the New Visions program has been received well by the guests, the staff, and the volunteers,” said Kevin Moran, executive director of New Visions. “We have the capability of serving the guests in a holistic way at the new location.  We are fortunate for the partnerships with businesses, social service providers, and the Camden community who have continued to support the mission of serving the ‘least among us.’” New Visions serves an average of 175 people each day with food, friendship, and personal care resources.
