    Info

    The food pantry typically distributes groceries in the third week of each month. The exact day and time (often between 2 PM and 4 PM) are dependent on weather conditions, as distributions are held outdoors. Clients should call on the 19th of the month to confirm the schedule. The primary location is 215 North Montgomery Street. If weather conditions are poor, distributions may move to North Overbrook Avenue in front of the church.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in North Trenton accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in North Trenton do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options. Here’s a list of everything in North Trenton that’s open today: Greater Mount Zion AME Church, Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK), Greater Mt. Zion Pantry- Sat Distribution, Rescue Mission of Trenton

  20. Where are you located?

  21. Can I get a reminder before my visit?

    Yes! Tap the bell icon on any resource page to set a reminder via text or WhatsApp before it opens, so you don’t forget your visit.

  22. Can I build a weekly food schedule?

    Yes — you can use Lemontree to build a calendar of upcoming pantry visits in North Trenton for the week, so you always know where to go and when. It’s a great way to plan ahead and make sure you have food throughout the week.

  23. How do I get help from a real person?

    You can text our helpline at 90847 or reach us on WhatsApp between 10am–6pm, every day of the week. A real person will help you find food in North Trenton, answer questions, and connect you with the right resources.
