Trenton Area Soup Kitchen to Serve Thanksgiving Meal

On a day of expressing gratitude for one’s blessings, there is nothing more appropriate than volunteering your time to serve food to those who are less fortunate. 

Every Thanksgiving holiday, the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen serves a Thanksgiving dinner to members of the community in need. Every patron is served a full dinner and is provided with an additional hot meal to take home. They are also provided with a mid-day bag and a bag of candy, according to the TASK website. 

Each year about 100 volunteers come together to work on the holiday. The Tollgate School in Pennington has provided food and decorations to TASK for the past sixteen years. 

The Trenton Area Soup Kitchen is booked with volunteers for the Thanksgiving meal, but is accepting volunteers for Christmas. To volunteer, contact Charlie Orth, charlieo@trentonsoupkitchen.org to find out what dates are available. 

TASK collaborates with Rise Community Services in Hightstown and provides weekly community dinners at local churches in Hightstown twice a week. Food is served Mondays at the First Presbyterian Church of Highstown on 320 North Main Street and on Thursdays at the First United Methodist Church of Hightstown on 187 Stockton Street from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
