The organization collaborates with neighbors, volunteers, congregations, and local agencies to provide food assistance, housing support, and pathways to job readiness, aiming to help individuals and families achieve sustainable self-sufficiency. Founded in 1980 as The Crisis Ministry by leaders of Nassau Presbyterian Church and Trinity Church in Princeton, the group has evolved to reflect a partnership-based approach, engaging hundreds of volunteers and multiple staff to serve thousands of families annually. Its work is anchored in Mercer County, with ongoing programs that include food pantries and employment-related services, delivered through partnerships and community-driven initiatives.
