Elijah's Promise takes emergency food assistance to the next level, striving to serve food with optimum nutritional value wherever possible. Providing calories is not enough. Elijah's Promise is working to insure that we are providing well balanced nutrition that promotes health and supports the well being of those we serve. You can join us in this effort through your contributions of time, donations of fresh fruits and vegetables and minimally processed foods, and efforts to advocate for policies and programs that support our most vulnerable neighbors.

Twice a day during the week and once each day on weekends, the soup kitchen serves free, nutritious meals to those in need. Volunteers serve an average of 300 meals daily. Poverty does not discriminate.

Some of the guests are mothers with young children. Some are elderly. Some are unemployed, others are working and can't make ends meet. They are male and female, young and old, White, Hispanic/Latino and African-American. Guests of the soup kitchen are served in an atmosphere of hospitality and dignity. No one leaves Elijah's Promise hungry.

Our "Bag Meal" program provides a meal "to go" for people who are working, or unable to get here during meal times. We are currently looking for groups to make and donate sandwiches for this project. Let us know if you are interested!

"Fresh is Best" is a project which provides perishable and non-perishable food for people living with HIV/AIDS in Middlesex, Somerset and Hunterdon Counties. Donations of food and paper supplies are always needed! If you'd like to help, contact us today!
