CAMDEN, N.J., June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, June 16th, The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center (Camden, NJ), together with Novitium Energy and Madison Energy Investments, "Flipped the Switch" to launch the Center's new solar energy system.
The system, provided by Novitium Energy in conjunction with Madison Energy Investments, required no upfront costs to The Salvation Army.

Novitium CEO Jeremy Conner shared, "Our partnership with The Salvation Army is so important as we all recognize the enormous impact that the organization has not only in our local community, but across all corners of the United States and beyond. We see our contribution to this project as an opportunity to give something back to The Salvation Army with a lasting, substantial impact."
Major Keith Maynor of The Salvation Army explained, "This is an exciting time for our organization. Not only will we save money with the new solar energy system, we will also eliminate a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions which continues a strong track record of environmental stewardship through the Camden Kroc Center. The support we have received has been a tremendous blessing."
The event was attended by public official City Councilman Chris Collins and received an invocation from Major Jongwoo Kim of The Salvation Army.
