Trenton Area Soup Kitchen: Driving Hunger Out of Our Community – New TASK To-Go Truck Means More Access to Food

More meals, more places. That’s the goal. A recent report indicates that nearly 17 million households across the country are experiencing food insecurity, an increase of nearly 3.5 million households in just one year.

TASK has seen the impact firsthand. Already serving 10,000 meals per week, all of TASK’s 36 meal sites are reporting an increase in need, with some sites experiencing lines that stretch city blocks forming hours before the meals even begin.

As a result, in early 2024, TASK will be launching mobile meals.

This project will initially focus on serving the City of Trenton, where 27 percent of the population — including 37 percent of resident children — are living below the poverty line, a rate more than twice the State average.

TASK’s mobile meal program, which will offer TASK’s signature freshly-prepared and balanced meals more accessibly than ever, is just the first step on the journey to help expand food resources in Trenton.

TASK is committed to ensuring that every household will have reliable access to healthy, nutritious food. With your support, you can help TASK drive hunger out of Trenton.
