The ONE Project’s Scholars Program is a year-long leadership initiative for 12 Mercer County freshmen, including monthly training, networking, and a $500 scholarship after completing a community service project.

The Hunger Project is a major summer initiative where volunteers come together for a full day to package meals for people facing food insecurity. Over the past decade, more than 1 million meals have been packed, providing vital support to those in need. This event not only addresses hunger but also fosters teamwork, community spirit, and awareness of local challenges, making it a powerful experience for all participants.
