Church & Dwight Donates $100,000 to the Crisis Ministry

With a charitable contribution of $100,000, Church & Dwight Co., Inc., helped to end the year on a bright note for the Crisis Ministry, which had been affected recently by a fire in its Trenton facility. Church & Dwight representative Angela Olsen awarded the $100,000 grant to Crisis Ministry co-chair Thalia Mingo and executive director Carolyn Biondi and fellow employees on Dec. 30 in the organization’s temporary quarters.

The grant was given in support of the nonprofit organization’s post-fire recovery efforts as well as to its programs that serve thousands of low-income households across Mercer County.

“Church & Dwight is a valued partner and neighbor to us as we work together on behalf of neighbors in need,” said Biondi. “This gift will provide direct, concrete help to our organization as we regroup from the fire and to families who struggle daily with the harsh conditions of the economy.”

“We are pleased to be able to support the assistance provided by the Crisis Ministry to those in need,” added Olsen.

Crisis Ministry is a non-profit that partners with the community to achieve stability for neighbors in need. Founded in 1980 by Princeton’s Nassau Presbyterian Church and Trinity Episcopal Church, the organization assists some 1,400 individuals and families each month who seek access to quality food, emergency housing assistance, and employment training and mentoring. The Crisis Ministry also partners with Capital Health System to provide bimonthly health screenings hosted by First Presbyterian Church of Trenton and with Rutgers Extension Service for bilingual nutrition education.
