Mercer Street Friends Food Bank: A Community Response to Hunger


Since 1987, the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank has been leading the community response to hunger in Mercer County. The Food Bank originated with a simple aim: to link donated food to people in need. Today we are the largest source of government and privately donated food in Mercer County. We channel 3 million pounds of food and groceries annually to 60 charitable food providers, such as food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters. Our efficient and effective food donation and distribution system is a vital community link ensuring that people in need can access free groceries and wholesome meals from a charitable food provider in their neighborhood.
