Our History
OUR MISSION
Feeding Middlesex County financially supports organizations that feed the hungry.
We raise funds to purchase food and equipment to assist qualifying agencies in procuring, storing, preserving and transporting food and other necessary items to our food insecure neighbors.
OUR VISION
To end food insecurity in Middlesex County.
OUR PROCESS
Feeding Middlesex County is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
We support over 120 emergency food providers in all 25 communities in Middlesex County. All agencies eligible for assistance from Feeding Middlesex County must be 501(c)3 organizations, related to houses of worship, schools or local government.
We conduct significant due diligence to assure support goes to appropriate organizations, so our partners can have confidence that their support is going directly to the cause.
