About This Town
Voorhees Township is a township in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. As of the United States 2000 Census, the township population was 28,126. Voorhees is a New Jersey suburb of the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan area.

The area comprises the Ashland, Kirkwood, Kresson, Glendale, and Osage sections. Voorhees is largely a bedroom community, with many of its residents commuting to Cherry Hill or Philadelphia for work.
