A Trusted Connection to Help and Hope
Every call answered, every resource shared,
and every connection made is a life touched.
Driven by the dedication of our staff and volunteers, and supported by community partners and donors, Hunterdon Helpline connects individuals and families with the resources, services, and support they need to navigate life's challenges.
In the first quarter of 2026, Hunterdon Helpline:
• Responded to 2,983 calls for assistance and information
• Completed 4,907 reassurance calls to seniors and vulnerable residents, helping reduce isolation and improve well-being
• Coordinated 132 shopping trips for older adults and homebound individuals in Hunterdon and Morris Counties
• Connected thousands of residents with housing resources, food assistance, transportation services, healthcare resources, and other critical community supports
In addition to these direct services, Hunterdon Helpline has embarked on an exciting organizational renewal effort. Through the development of a new logo, website enhancements, and an expanded outreach campaign, we are working to ensure that more residents are aware of the resources available to them and know where to turn when they need help.
- As community needs continue to evolve, Hunterdon Helpline remains committed to evaluating programs and services to ensure we are meeting the most pressing needs of those we serve. By listening to our community and strengthening partnerships, we continue to build a stronger, more connected, and more compassionate Hunterdon County.
- These accomplishments are made possible through the dedication of our staff, volunteers, community partners, and supporters. Together, we are creating pathways to help, hope, and opportunity for all.
