MAYS LANDING, N.J. — In this week’s What’s Good in South Jersey, Isaiah visits the Juneteenth celebration sponsored by A WISH at Gaskill Park.

A WISH, short for Agape Water International Safe Haven, is an organization whose “goal is to prepare the community with the tools essential to living a healthy and prosperous life…to be able to accept that things may not go as planned,” according to their website.

Along with venders, performances, food, and fun, visitors had the opportunity to learn about healthy lifestyles and recognize the importance of history.

A WISH Juneteenth celebration is definitely What’s Good in South Jersey!
