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!

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.

TASK’s Radical Hospitality Coordinator, Anita Rivera, who oversees and manages the dining room, and Case Manager Erykah Jones, who helps to connect people in our community to the resources they need, recently graduated from the prestigious Garden State Leaders program.
