Mobile Pantry and Resource Center
Our 2023 Goal:
20,000+ individuals and families served through Mobile Pantry
Why?
Arm In Arm is committed to fighting food insecurity in Mercer County. Our Mobile Pantry meets families where they are, in their own neighborhoods, and at times that are convenient for them. Utilizing data from the Trenton Health Team, we are serving in areas where access to healthy food is a challenge.
Where?
We currently serve at multiple locations throughout Mercer County and our truck is on the road 6 days per week. Some of our partner sites and distribution sites include: 142 E Hanover Street, Trenton (Tuesdays and Thursdays); Capital Health locations every Wednesday; the Boys and Girls Club; Project Freedom; Children’s Home Society; and more. Every visit by our Mobile Pantry feeds 50-150 households, providing individuals and families with shelf stable items as well as fresh meat, dairy and produce.
How you can help?
Every $5,000 helps to feed and distribute food to at least 100 families, providing them with groceries including fresh produce, dairy and meat. Sponsors of Arm In Arm’s Mobile Food Pantry will not only ensure we have the resources to provide for the needs in the community, but will also be provided with community-wide recognition.
