Our Mission
& Vision
Jamieson Community Center's mission is to coordinate programs addressing the needs of all ages, provide services which extend widely into the community and surrounding area, and work in cooperation with the social service agencies in the region.
Our vision is that Jamieson Community Center leads a collaborative effort to unify people through compassion, kindness and service.
We are a non-profit community center that strives to provide social services to Monmouth and the surrounding areas. We were founded in 1965 following the merging of four area churches.
JCC is named after Rev. Jamieson who was responsible for the vision of Jamieson Community Center and was one of our early founders.

Shopping days are Tuesday - Friday, 10 AM - 3 PM. Social distancing and masks are required - NO EXCEPTIONS. If the door is locked, we are at capacity.

Senior Nutrition: We have seen a 65% increase in meals served compared to February 2020. With continued requests coming in, we are looking for additional funding to keep up with the demand. Our seniors are receiving hot meals delivery, with people in more rural areas receiving a combination of hot and frozen meals. We will begin service to Mercer County residents October 1.
Food Pantry: Families with children can come to the pantry weekly and people without children can come twice each month. We are also delivering food boxes and supplies in Warren County to people 65 and older or to people who are quarantining due to health issues, including people who have tested positive for Covid-19. The food pantry is located on the back side of our building and is open Monday through Thursday from 10 AM - 2 PM. Please knock and wait behind the cones.
