🌡️ The heat is on, and our neighbors are feeling it.

As always, TASK's air conditioned dining room will be open to anyone who needs a meal -- no questions asked. We are open for lunch Mondays - Saturdays (including July 4) between 10:30am - 12:45pm and dinner Mondays - Thursdays between 3:30pm - 4:45pm.

In addition, TASK will be offering extra bottles of cold water to our community. As a result, we are in need of donations of cases of bottled water to help keep our guests safe, hydrated and healthy during this extreme heat.

If you'd like to help, you can drop off a case (or two!) of bottled water to us at 72 1/2 Escher Street in Trenton. When you arrive, pull into our driveway and up to our back door. If the door isn't already open, please ring the bell and a staffmember will be happy to help you unload. Donations are accepted Mondays - Thursdays between 8:30am - 4:00pm and Fridays between 8:30am - 1:00pm. No appointment is needed!

Every bottle helps us provide comfort and care when it's needed most. As the temperatures rise, THANK YOU for helping our community stay cool this summer!
