Food
As the Feeding America Food Bank of Mercer County, Mercer Street Friends is the primary source of government and privately donated food targeted for hunger relief programs throughout the County. The Food Bank channels millions of meals to a network of more than 100 food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, meal sites, senior centers, programs for the disabled, and low-income housing sites through a robust network of staff and volunteers.
No child should have to choose between food and education. For children, hunger is especially traumatic as they are unable to focus on learning and social engagement, which can lead to an unsuccessful school experience, thus limiting their opportunities. Parents should not have to skip their own meal to feed their children. Seniors should not have to worry about when they will eat next.
Over the years we have expanded our work to new collaborations with partners to better serve the people of Mercer County. Our initiative with America’s Grow-a-Row, the largest nonprofit farm in the state of New Jersey, together with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Cooperative (MARC) and all of our sister Feeding America New Jersey food banks, helps ensure access to free, NJ-grown fruits and vegetables both in Mercer County and every corner of New Jersey. This innovative partnership keeps more than 2.3 million pounds of produce (equivalent to 9 million servings) in state each year.
