You Can Assist Furloughed Federal Workers
TRENTON -- As the shutdown of the federal government will soon reach into its second month, local federal employees and furloughed workers and their families are seeking food and additional resources at food pantries, food banks and meal sites.
Mercer County has received many inquiries from citizens countywide who wish to assist those in need. Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes encourages all who can to donate supplies to their local food pantry, including such items as cereals, dry-good, canned goods, etc. Many organizations listed below will also accept donations of diapers, baby formula, toiletries, laundry detergent and other supplies.
"The generosity of the people of Mercer County toward their friends and neighbors in need during the federal government shutdown is heartwarming and a testament to our county being among the greatest," Mr. Hughes said. Among those affected by the shutdown are local federal Transportation Security Administration screeners at Trenton-Mercer Airport.
Please donate today!
