Arm In Arm welcomes 4,000-5,000 families annually through 40,000+ visits to food and mobile pantries and works with 200-400 at-risk families to prevent or end homelessness.

"It is so important that we bring services into our communities to meet our residents where they are," said Mercer County Executive Dan Benson. "The collaboration between the Mercer County Library System and Arm In Arm is a great example of how we can collaborate to deliver help to those who need it most."
