The Chubby’s Project is a non-profit organization that builds and strengthens community connections in Hopewell Borough and surrounding areas.
Through our lunch program, soup delivery, and pantry, we engage volunteers, local businesses, community partners, farmers, and donors to support our neighbors in need in and around Hopewell Borough.
Who We Are
What We Do
More than a food bank or a meal delivery service, The Chubby’s Project lovingly cooks, packs, and delivers delicious meals and groceries, including locally-sourced produce. Volunteers always make time to talk, connect, and learn about the needs of our neighbors.
-
24/7 pantry of donated goods, stocked daily by volunteers.
-
Grocery delivery.
-
Fresh delicious meals delivered three days a week by friendly volunteers.
-
Comforting soup delivered every week.
-
ESL classes for Spanish speakers in our community.
-
Emergency food and supplies to neighbors who are temporarily homeless.
-
School programs and events to raise awareness of food insecurity in our community.
Our Families
Our families are our neighbors - an aging widow in need of a visit; a friend experiencing an unexpected illness; a colleague with young children who is temporarily between jobs; a veteran who lives alone.
The Chubby’s Project lends a gentle hand and loving heart while they get back on their feet. Families are referred to The Project by a variety of sources including local churches, healthcare providers and neighbors.
What We Need
Volunteers!
Key needs include volunteers to help pack and deliver (drive) meals, social media, light bookkeeping, and event coordination

As a not-for-profit organization, The Chubby’s Project is grateful
to receive funds from our community members. Over 300
families are active donors, along with a number of the local
churches and family foundations. We have also received
generous funding from the Hopewell Harvest Fair, Pennington
Day, Hopewell Block Party, Hopewell Council of Churches,
scout troops, local schools and businesses - and many more!
Help spread the love!​
