Mayor and Council Recognize Cherry Hill African American Civic Association

During Monday's Council meeting, Mayor Angulo and Township Council recognized the Cherry Hill African American Civic Association to mark Black History Month and honor the organization for their many achievements over the years, including the recent creation of the Juneteenth Parade and Festival, which will be held again this year on Saturday, June 18th at Croft Farm.

The Cherry Hill African American Civic Association (CHAACA), was organized in 1978 by a concerned group of African American residents. CHAACA is built upon three pillars; Unity, Service, Purpose, all of which hold up the mission of the organizations to provide a vehicle for the participation of African American residents in Cherry Hill in the community life, provide a collective voice for residents to exercise their rights and responsibilities as citizens, ensure the welfare of African American youth in the home, school, and community, serve as a platform to encourage the appointment and election of African Americans in positions of leadership, and provide the African American community with information on important political issues while remaining nonpartisan

Black History Month provides an opportunity to celebrate leaders and accomplishments within our own community, and in 2021, CHAACA organized the inaugural Juneteenth Parade and Festival and held it at the Township’s historic Croft Farm property, a former Quaker homestead that once served as a stop on the Underground Railroad. The successful event drew hundreds of attendees from Cherry Hill and around the surrounding areas to take part in the all day festival which included more than 25 vendors, face painting, sack racing, live music, performances and much more.

Keep an eye out for more information about this year's festival as the date gets closer!

Where and How to Dispose of Unused Medicines

Over the counter and prescription medications should not be disposed down the drain because wastewater treatment facilities are not designed to remove pharmaceutical compounds and they may end up in your local waterways, and may eventually be found in drinking water.

You can even bring your unwanted or expired household medications to the Cherry Hill Police Department and place them into the Project Medicine Drop box - anonymously and free of charge. The medication will then be safely and properly destroyed. *Remove medication from its original packaging and place it in a plastic sandwich bag. No liquids or syringes accepted.

AARP Senior Tax Help- By Appointment Only!

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide services will again be available to Cherry Hill area residents from February 1 through April 12 - with a different twist for 2021: There will be no on-site traditional tax preparation where the taxpayer sits with an AARP Tax-Aide during the tax preparation process.

Instead, taxpayers will have the choice of 2 service models:

Same Day Drop-Off: Taxpayers interact with an IRS-certified Tax-Aide in a 20-30 minute in-person and socially distanced meeting. During the appointment, the Tax-Aide will complete the intake process and write a receipt for all tax documents collected. These meetings, available by appointment only, will take place in the Municipal Building in Room 208 on Tuesdays and Fridays, 10am to 2pm.

Before the taxpayer leaves, they will make a follow-up appointment to return the same day to review the printed tax return, sign an authorization for AARP Foundation to file the return electronically, and acknowledge their receipt of the original tax documents. 

Taxpayers can only make appointments by accessing the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Site Locator for Cherry Hill at: www.aarpfoundation.org/Tax-Aide after January 15th. Taxpayers will receive an automatic confirmation email. A follow-up email from aarp.cc.pt@gmail.com will include the links to documents to be printed, completed, and brought to the drop-off site. If you do not have a printer, packets containing all required documents will be available for pick-up at the Community Center and the Municipal building.

If there are no appointments available, taxpayers can add themselves to the appointment waitlist. An AARP Foundation Tax-Aide will contact waitlisted taxpayers by phone as appointments become available. 

Self Preparation: Under this model, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide provides taxpayers with free access to software so they can prepare their own taxes. Taxpayers can also request help from an IRS-certified counselor to coach them through the process by phone or through computer screen-sharing. Participants can only request virtual tax prep assistance through the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide's website www.aarpfoundation.org/Tax-Aide. Participants must provide a private email address to use this model.

Please do not contact this site about any of the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide service offerings. They are wonderful, supportive hosts, but they are not AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers.
