Hunger Relief
“Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of themselves and their family, including food.”We are dedicated to providing hunger relief in the Monmouth county area through our Mobile Food Truck, delivering groceries to those who do not have transportation to their local food bank. We also host Holiday and community meals throughout the year.
Mobile Food Truck
Our Mobile Food Pantry was created over a decade ago when we realized that many people in the homeless and at-risk community have no way to access local food banks, often due to lack of transportation or disability. This program enables us to bring groceries directly to motels, rooming houses, homeless encampments, and other places in need. We distribute approximately 41 tons of food each month and feed approximately 70,000 people in need annually.
If you’d like to volunteer on our food truck, please contact us directly for more information.
Adopt-A-Block
Last summer, we “adopted” a block in Asbury Park desperately in need. Every Saturday, a dedicated team of volunteers bring groceries, toiletries, clothing, and other needed items to about 60 people. We have seen an incredible transformation in this neighborhood, just by bringing basic supplies and most importantly love and compassion to a group of people who felt angry and neglected. We are truly seeing lives transformed. We hope to add new areas to this program soon.
