More meals, more places. That was the goal we set for ourselves on March 18, 2024 – the day we put the TASK food truck on the road for the first time. Since then, the truck has become a staple throughout Trenton, bringing TASK's signature hot meals directly into neighborhoods across the Capital City that need them most.

TASK’s entire operation relies on a strong network of volunteers who come to TASK with an open heart in the spirit of giving back to their neighbors in need. TASK volunteers truly excel at showing our community “radical hospitality.”

Each December, your support ensures that TASK can show our cherished community just how much we care. No matter how bitter the winter weather is outside, TASK’s Escher Street dining room is always welcoming and warm — especially during the holiday season!

“I feel safe when I’m at the soup kitchen.” “I always feel welcome.” “I know I’m not alone.” Testimonials like these from the people TASK serves show what a powerful impact your support has had on our neighbors in need!

This summer, TASK will bid a fond farewell to Volunteer Coordinator Charlie Orth, who is retiring after a long and gratifying career at TASK.
