There has never been a better time to help the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, and there are so many ways to get involved.

The need may never be greater than it is now, and the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties has several ways you can help our neighbors here at the Jersey Shore.

Food donations. Of course, you can donate food at the FoodBank (3300 Rt. 66 in Neptune) Monday through Friday 8:00am to 4:00 pm. Some of the most needed food items include canned tuna, canned fruit and canned vegetables.

Donations of funds. Any donation helps! 96 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to programs to alleviate hunger and build food-secure communities. And for every $30 that is donated, the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties can provide 90 meals.

Volunteer. Be a volunteer and help sort donations, organize food drives and much more. Some volunteers even contribute their professional skills.

Be an advocate. You can use your voice to spread the word. You will be speaking for 131,000 Monmouth and Ocean County residents who struggle with hunger.

We have seen the incredible hard work of the FoodBank in our communities. Let's do what we can to help this great organization do it's critical work right here in our backyard.
