Welcome to Mercer Street Friends
Mercer Street Friends is a Quaker-affiliated, nonsectarian human care organization providing compassionate and practical solutions to the problems of poverty and health. We serve more than 20,000 people a year from seven locations and 15 program sites, including the historic original location, a former Friends meeting house in the Mill Hill section of Trenton. Our programs serve infants, children, youth, parents and adults, and the disabled and elderly.
With a budget of more than $13 million in fiscal 2009-2010, more than 200 employees and 550 dedicated volunteers, Mercer Street Friends has been building hopeful futures in the Greater Trenton area and Mercer County since 1958. The programs of Mercer Street Friends are funded by a combination of private donations, government funds, foundation grants and user fees.
