The Flemington Area Food Pantry, a 501(c)(3) non-profi t organization,
provides food and personal care items to needy Hunterdon County families
regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background. We are located across the
parking lot from the front entrance of the Flemington WalMart.
Food insecurity is a national problem. In Hunterdon County, of 126,000
residents, an estimated 5,000 have income below the poverty level. Many of
these residents, including children and infants, don't get enough to eat without
some form of assistance.
The Flemington Area Food Pantry depends on the generosity of
the Hunterdon County community for its very existence. Without
donations of food and funds, the Pantry would not exist. More than 80% of
Pantry income is derived from contributions of cash and groceries. The Pantry
provides supplemental groceries to approximately 1,200 income qualifi ed
Hunterdon County families. You can donate to the pantry by clicking on
the Donate button on our website, or mailing a check made payable to the
Flemington Area Food Pantry to: Flemington Area Food Pantry, PO
Box 783, Flemington, NJ 08822 Volunteers are always needed! Call:
