The Trenton-Area Soup Kitchen, meanwhile, is encouraging volunteers to help Mercer County distribute meals during the coronavirus outbreak.

Beginning this week, Meals on Wheels of Mercer County invites volunteers to meet at 10 a.m. at Daly’s Dining Hall on the Rider Campus.

Food will be loaded into cars and also can be distributed by volunteers on foot. College students home from college are welcome. Parking is available around the dining Hall. Please call their office if you have any questions -- 609-695-3483 -- or email info@mealsonwheelsmercer.org. On Facebook, the organization wrote: "We are in a time where we need neighbors helping neighbors, especially supporting our elders who have given us all so much! We are all in this together! Thank you!!!"
