About Flemington Area Food Pantry

The Flemington Area Food Pantry was founded in 1982 by a small group of church congregants in the basement of the Flemington United Methodist Church. After three moves, we relocated to our current home at 154 Route 31 North in Flemington—during the weekend following Hurricane Sandy.

Today, the Pantry serves all of Hunterdon County and has seen a sharp rise in need, especially in recent years. In 2025 alone, neighbors visited us 21,254 times, and we delivered 3,350 food packages to those who are homebound or without transportation. We warmly welcomed 832 new families in 2025—an 83% increase over the past five years—many of whom had never used a food pantry before. Soaring costs for housing, fuel, and groceries are driving increased demand while reducing our purchasing power, with prices up 20–30% and little relief in sight.

Mission statement

Our mission is to promote the health and well-being of our Hunterdon County community. We offer choices of nutritious foods and essentials, foster resource connections, provide tailored programming, and respect the dignity of our neighbors in need.

Vision

A community where volunteers and donors together feed and sustain each individual needing help in Hunterdon County.
