30 years of partnering with our community to
achieve stability for our neighbors in need


The Crisis Ministry operates from two offices located in Princeton and Trenton

HUNGER PREVENTION

Through our "Client Choice" grocery-style pantries, customers make their own selections based on household size and up-to-date nutritional guildelines monitored by Food Services Director Mark Smith, R.N. and nutritionist. Fresh and frozen products are available as often as possible, and include weekly deliveries by Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, Italian People's Bakery, Mercer Street Friends Food Bank, and numerous volunteer food drives by groups including the grassroots Yes We Can! organization, schools, congregations, and businesses. Families receive an average of 35-40 pounds of food, a 3- to 4-day supply. More information.

HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION

The Crisis Ministry helps to stabilize critical housing situations through emergency financial assistance to:
• Renters facing possible eviction
• Individuals and families in need a security deposit in order to move into a decent apartment
• Households with a utility shutoff notice
• Families facing foreclosure

More information.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

Harvesting Hope is our in-store retail and food handling training program that educates and prepares more than 60 men and women per year who receive welfare benefits and are preparing to re-enter the workforce. More information.

 

We also educate the wider Princeton-Trenton community about issues that affect low-income people. Advocacy and education through speaking engagements and special programming is offered to schools, civic groups, and the 60 congregations that make up our interfaith support network. Please contact us to request a representative for a speaking or learning engagement.
