New Journey Community Outreach

The establishment of the new nonprofit corporation -- New Journey Community Outreach, Inc. (NJCO) -- is an immediate response to the closing of New Journey United Methodist Church and its merger with West Lawn United Methodist Church. The merger has been foreseen for the past year and prompted the action of NJCO to incorporate in order to assume responsibility for continuing the essential food and clothing programs provided for low-income persons in the Reading community by New Journey United Methodist Church (formerly Central Park UMC) for the past 40 years. NJCO began operations on June 26, 2014.
