Today, at the Campbell Soup Annual Networking Breakfast, NJ Tree Foundation employee Jessica Franzini received the Campbell’s Hometown Hero Award for her years of service in Camden. Jessica coordinates our Urban Airshed Reforestation Program (UARP), a community-based tree planting program in the city. She also facilitates Camden TreeKeepers, a series of educational workshops for neighborhood residents. During her acceptance speech, Jessica explained, “Working in Camden has been a blessing. I have truly met the most amazing people here. Thank you to the residents and partners who make our work possible.”
Thank you to Campbell Soup for this incredible recognition! Additionally, we thank the many Campbell Soup employees that volunteered their time, talents and muscle to plant trees in 2011. You’re all amazing!
