Thanks to you, we are feeding more neighbors in need than ever before—over 600,000 meals across more than 40 community meal sites in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We invite you to take a moment to celebrate the impact we’ve made together.

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 Board of Trustees is thrilled to announce that Amy Flynn will become the next CEO of TASK, effective January 21, 2025. "I am excited to build upon TASK’s rich legacy and look forward to collaborating with its many friends, supporters and community partners to further its mission of serving those in need," says Flynn.

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!

On Friday, September 13, TASK hosted our third annual community meal & BBQ to commemorate Hunger Action Month, a time when relief agencies join together to raise awareness about food insecurity, which is surging across the U.S.

This Hunger Action Month, TASK is recognizing a major new milestone: more than 7 million meals served since 1982. Our output has never been higher, and we need your help to do more!
