The Flemington Area Food Pantry, a 501(c)(3) non-profit 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 qualified 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: 908.788.5568 or visit:

Lives are saved everyday by blood donors in our community. Hunterdon
Medical Center depends heavily on regular volunteer blood donors to maintain
an adequate and safe blood supply. "Giving blood is the most generous act
of kindness that one human being can do for another. When you give blood,
you save lives. Blood is used for accident victims, newborn babies and their
mothers who need a transfusion, people undergoing surgery, patients receiving
treatment for cancer and other diseases," states Cathy Conroy, Blood Donor
Recruiter at Hunterdon Medical Center. To be eligible to donate blood a person
must be at least 17 years of age, be in good health and weigh at least 110 pounds.
To schedule an appointment or for more information, call Hunterdon
Medical Center at: 908.788.6405.
