What is Fisherman's Mark?
Fisherman's Mark, founded in March 1980, is a non-profit organization
dedicated to serving those in need within Hunterdon County as well as
other locales by integrating, not duplicating, services of existing agencies.
What type of services does Fisherman's
Mark provide?
Social services, vocational services, GED and ESL tutoring, housing search
and assistance, clothing, food pantry, nutrition services, referral services,
money management and career counseling, personal and family case management,
use of phone, fax, copiers, computers and more.
Why the name “Fisherman's Mark“?
Fisherman's Mark is an outgrowth of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, through
which, prior to 1980, many community needs were met. St. Andrew was a
“fisher of men.“ He brought people to a place where they could
seek guidance and discover their own strengths. We added “Mark“
because each person leaves a mark in this world. At Fisherman's Mark we
strive to help people leave their best “mark“-to become independent,
self-reliant, self-sufficient and empowered.
