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 has dramatically expanded its footprint to help feed the growing number of people who are food insecure in our area.  Nearly 40,000 of our neighbors don't know where their next meal is coming from!  

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.

Over the fiscal year ending July 2024, TASK’s output surged 27 percent! The agency served 596,454 meals at 40 community meal sites. We also launched a new mobile soup kitchen and marked a sobering milestone – more than 7 million meals served since 1982.
