TCNJ AmeriCorps Mercer Street Friends Food Pantry Assistant

Mercer Street Friends provide a range of integrated services that build community, nurture self-worth and independence, and offer resources for children, families, and communities to overcome poverty and its lasting effects. A key component to our missions is the Rivera Community Middle School, Gregory Elementary School and Martin Luther King, Jr Elementary School.

Through the community school model, Mercer Street Friends is allowed the opportunity to touch children and families affected by poverty and community trauma in a central location with more resources than can be offered through a singular agency.
