Today's riddle: What did one strawberry say to the other strawberry? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Camden has no grocery stores of its own. A pastor is giving free rides to residents to shop for healthy food in Cherry Hill. (inquirer.com) — Camden residents without a local supermarket are getting free shuttle rides to ShopRite, Walmart, and Aldi in Cherry Hill so they can buy healthier, more affordable groceries. Funded by a state-backed FEED NJ grant, Pastor Amir Khan's New Beginnings Behavioral Health runs weekday van service plus a food pantry and plans a mobile market to expand options.
2. NJIB's Guide to 90+ New Jersey September Festivals and Events (newjerseyisntboring.com) — Cherry Hill residents can look forward to the free Out in the Park Festival at Cooper River Park on September 6, celebrating LGBTQ+ pride with music, food trucks, and family-friendly activities. It's one of many September festivals across New Jersey, from food truck fests and art shows to Oktoberfests and street fairs, giving locals plenty of options for day trips and weekend fun.
3. WJFL '26 preview: Freedom Division Players to Watch, predictions (courierpostonline.com) — Cherry Hill West is the lone holdover in a reshuffled West Jersey Football League Freedom Division and is projected to finish third after a competitive 3-6 season. With six offensive and five defensive starters back but a new quarterback to break in, the Lions are expected to contend in a wide-open race featuring Camden Eastside and Gloucester.
4. Day: August 24, 2026 (ocnjdaily.com) — Datelined from Cherry Hill, this mixed collection of short pieces ranges from lifestyle tips on car washes, travel with kids, bucket lists, and home maintenance to explainers on AI apps, shopping trends, and personal finance. It briefly notes a South Jersey crime case, but most items are broad advice or commentary rather than Cherry Hill–specific news.
5. Could flexible treatment options help close the mental health care gap? (wibc.com) — Flexible mental health options like telehealth, stepped care, and primary-care-based counseling are helping more people start and stay in treatment, and some employers now support an intensive outpatient program in Cherry Hill that lets participants keep working part-time. The piece explains how models such as collaborative care and interstate telehealth compacts reduce wait times, travel, and stigma while expanding access.
