Meal Packing Event
We would like to thank The College of New Jersey for hosting our 8th annual meal packing event and to our wonderful sponsors for their commitment to Strike Out Hunger. More than 100 volunteers attended and packed 35,432 meals of rice and beans for our local food pantries.
There are many more ways to get involved in our Strike Out Hunger 2022 Initiative throughout the summer and fall!

During the month of July, there will be a nonperishable collection box at the participating locations below. Please drop off donations and help us fill food pantry shelves during the summer months when food becomes even more scarce for families and individuals in our community.

Volunteer Opportunities
You can help provide fresh fruits and vegetables for families and individuals living in food deserts or struggling to make ends meet. United Way of Greater Mercer County has partnered with Rolling Harvest Food Rescue and Geogreens to help with the distribution of fresh produce to local food pantries.
Volunteers can sign up to glean, and gather leftover fresh produce after a harvest with Rolling Harvest. This is a great opportunity to help alleviate hunger in the community. Get outside, meet up with coworkers and stay safe from the restrictions of the pandemic. More information coming soon!
Volunteers can sign up with Geogreens to learn about growing produce hydroponically, an indoor, vertical farm that specializes in growing leafy greens, herbs, and microgreens all indoors within a controlled environment. Meet up with coworkers and gain knowledge about sanitary principles, relocation, transplanting, and harvesting of produce, in a new way. More information coming soon!
Donate to Your Local Food Pantry
The need for food has intensified as a result of the pandemic. Families are having to choose between other necessities like housing and healthcare.
To help, donate nonperishables to your local food pantry. Take a bag(s) filled with food to your nearest food pantry.
Does Someone You Know Need Help?
We all need help sometimes. As a result of the pandemic, more families and individuals are struggling to put food on their tables. Play a role by letting family, neighbors, friends, or coworkers know about available resources in the community.
