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.

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 year, TASK is on track to serve half a million meals – a record-breaking number and a milestone that we couldn’t have reached without the generosity of caring people like you.

Explosive growth in our community meal site program has prompted TASK to hire a new coordinator to better serve our neighbors in need.
