HOMEFRONT
We have been overwhelmed by how many generous people have reached out to ask how they can help HomeFront families during this crisis. even while people are focusing on keeping their own families safe and healthy, there has been great concern for families in need. Here's how you can help:
*If you are already out shopping for necessities or are able to shop online, consider a donation of our most needed items: diapers (sizes 4,5,6 and Pull-ups/Easy-ups in all sizes). baby wipes, canned goods (protein, like Chicken, Tuna, ravioli, beef stew, soup and fruit), baby formula, dry cereal and shel-stable milk (Horizon/Natrel/Parmalat or powwered milk). Online shipments can be delivered to 1880 Princeton Ave, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648 We are keeping an Amazon wish list updated at http://bit.ly/HFMarch20items (but please be patient because items are going out of stock quickly online!)
*Homefront has already spent over $25,000 in unanticipated and unbudgeted expenses related to preparation for COVID-19 and we only expect those costs to rise as our families are directly affected. There are many worthy non-profitsthjat will be doing important work throughout this crisis and we encourage you to be as generous to them as you are able. As you consider your charitable giving during this time, please keep us in mind. To make a donation, please visit www.homefrontnj.org/donate or call 609-989-9417 x 107.
RESCUE MISSION OF TRENTON
Serving the area for more than 100 years by providing a bed, warm meals and counseling services for adults - many of whom struggle with addiction- the Rescue Mission of Trenton has had to temporarily suspend its volunteer activities and is most in need of monetary support. http://www.rescuemissionoftrenton.org/donate/
CATHOLIC CHARITIES OF MERCER COUNTY
Crisis is not easy for anyone, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and during this time of fear and anxiety the most vulnerable of our community have a heavier burden, greater hardship and more uncertainty than most. Bust here is what is certain - people need our services more than ever, and we need your help more than ever. Like you, much has changed for us. Because of social distancing, we have postponed fundraising events that are critical to our mission of helping others. With more people needing food, our pantry shelves are getting dangerously low and with home confinement more are suffering with mental illness, addiction and domestic violence.

PRINCETON AREA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund has been created in collaboration with area
leaders. https://pacf.org/the-princeton-area-community-foundation-covid-19-relief-recovery- fund/ People in our region, particularly our low-income children, families, and seniors, will face increased struggles because of reduced or lost income, food and housing insecurity, health needs and childcare needs related to school closures. We will partner with our nonprofit community to address the immediate and long-term needs of our region. As information is rapidly changing, we are communicating with government leaders, private foundations and nonprofit organizations to assess local needs. We are also inviting donors and funding partners to join us to ensure our region is served. We have waived our administrative fee for this fund, so 100% of donations can be directed to those in need. (Gifts by credit card are assessed fees by our merchant services.) Learn more about the fund here. We already have a tremendous outpouring of leadership support, with over $1 million in funding. But we know much more will be needed. In just the first three day of accepting applications, we received more than $1.4 million in requests for funding. If you are looking for an effective way to help the most vulnerable, I hope you will consider joining us.
