What We Do - Food . . . and more

Hundreds of families in Mercer County must decide each month whether to buy food or to pay the rent. We help to keep these families from becoming homeless through our Food Pantry program. HomeFront distributes 700 bags of free groceries to low-income families each month. Your financial support helps stock the shelves of our food pantry.

HomeFront also coordinates the delivery of donated hot meals prepared by area congregations and community groups. These dedicated volunteers also donate and prepare food for HomeFront events from holiday parties to graduation ceremonies. To participate contact us at .

Last year we distributed more than $2.6 million worth of donated goods and professional services to our families.

Emergency Food Bags

Once a month, clients may receive a grocery bag filled a week’s supply of food from our food pantry. Food is obtained from the Mercer Street Friends food bank, USDA surplus items and local food drives.
