Serving Our Community
for Over 40 Years
The Trenton Area Soup Kitchen feeds the hungry and offers programs and services to encourage self-sufficiency and improve quality of life for people in the Greater Trenton Area. We began serving meals 42 years ago in a church basement and have since expanded to deliver over 10,000 meals each week, six days per week, at our main Escher Street building and more than 40 community meal sites across the area. Since 1982, we have never turned away anyone who has asked us for a meal. Today, we also provide case management services, adult education programs, job search assistance and creative arts classes, empowering those we serve to thrive, not just survive.
A Meal at TASK Can Be a Life Changer
A meal at TASK is often the first step in leaving hunger behind. Not only do we serve free meals to everyone who comes through our doors, no questions asked, patrons discover a community of friendship and support that can lead them to a better life.

Hunger Is Surging in Our Community
A dramatic rise in poverty rates and increased consumer costs have led to an explosive surge in food insecurity.
In our Escher Street dining room, TASK is serving a record number of meals, roughly 40% more over the past year. TASK is currently serving nearly 600,000 meals annually!
