TRENTON AREA SOUP KITCHEN

A meal at TASK is often the first step in leaving hunger behind. Not only do we serve free meals to everyone who comes through our doors, no questions asked, patrons discover a community of friendship and support that can lead them to a better life... On January 13, 1982, the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen served its first meal from the basement of the First Methodist Church of Trenton (now Turning Point United Methodist Church). Soup and butter sandwiches were all we could offer at first, but because of the generosity of the community, TASK was able to expand its menu and its service. By the end of the year, TASK served more than 40,000 meals... A meal at TASK opens the door to a world of services and support. Along with food, we provide basic necessities, access to case managers, and programs that encourage and aid self-sufficiency, so patrons have the tools they need to pursue a better quality of life and leave hunger behind.
