About LUCY
In April 2016, LUCY transitioned from a Catholic Parish initiative of the Camden Diocese to LUCY Outreach, a New Jersey Non-Profit Corporation with a 501(c)(3) designation. LUCY has since grown exponentially, moving into its forever home at 3201 Federal Street, and expanding the building to include a 10,000 square foot, state-of-the-art, youth center. In 2023, LUCY made a purchase of the neighboring lot at 3199 Federal Street, which will complete the LUCY campus, as well as outfitting the original 3,500 square foot (original) building, which has become a hub for parent/guardian and alumni support services in 2024, as well as a food pantry site for Camden.
