Our Needs

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, our services have grown not only more expansive but also significantly more complicated-and more resource extensive. The scope and scale of what we do has changed dramatically especially in the number of seniors served, and the numbers tell a powerful story. In 2024, the Flemington Area Food Pantry experienced record-breaking demand, with 20,797 individual visits supported by 509 dedicated volunteers.

Over the past five years, the need in our community has surged:

• 87% increase in total visits
• 83% increase in unduplicated households
• 114% increase in children served
• 132% increase in seniors seeking support

We are witnessing more working families, seniors on fixed incomes, and individuals between jobs turning to the Pantry simply to put food on the table. Our response is guided by compassion, efficiency, and dignity, ensuring that every neighbor has access to nutritious food and a welcoming experience.

Thank you for your support!
