One extra item on your grocery run can make a difference in a child’s day. 💚

Some students in Hunterdon County go home after school unsure of what they’ll eat. Through Pantries with Purpose, United Way brings food, snacks, and hygiene essentials directly into schools so students can get what they need to learn, grow, and be kids.

For , help us stock these pantries with shelf-stable food items. Pick up an extra snack or easy-to-prepare meal—like granola bars, mac & cheese cups, or fruit pouches—and drop it off at our Volunteer Center at 20 Fulper Road in Flemington.

Small acts of kindness add up!

❤️ What does it mean to grow up, grow together, and grow stronger in Hunterdon County?

Last night, at our Hunterdon United celebration, we came together to honor the people, stories, and connections that make this community so special.

We shared this video as a reminder of something powerful: Hunterdon is more than a place we live. It's a community we build together.

And while our celebration may be over, our work is far from finished.

We set a goal to raise $15,000 to invest right here in Hunterdon County. Every dollar stays local, helping United Way of Hunterdon County connect neighbors to resources, strengthen families, support our youth, and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Now, we're asking our community to help us cross that finish line.

You didn't have to attend Hunterdon United to be part of what we're building. Whether you give $10, $25, $100, or simply share this video, you're helping plant the seeds of a stronger Hunterdon for generations to come.

🌱 Because the future of Hunterdon isn't something we wait for. It's something we grow. Together.

❤️ Help us reach our $15,000 goal: https://unitedwayhunterdoncounty.betterworld.org/campaigns/hunterdon-united-celebration-imp

One community. One shared future. Hunterdon United.
