It's National Volunteer Appreciation Week, and we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to the folks who show up early on a Friday morning to unload the trucks, manage the traffic, pack the bags, break down the boxes, load up the cars, and everything in between. We want to thank the volunteers who place the food order each week, those who donate food and bags, those who track the numbers and fill out the reports, and all the other stuff that keeps us going. Our drive-through pantry is completely volunteer-run, and we couldn't be more grateful to the team that makes it all happen!

If you've ever driven by the parking lot of 1070 Hooper Ave, Toms River around 7:30 am on a Friday morning, you've seen the big Fulfill trucks parked on the side of the building as our volunteers scurry about getting pallets unloaded and tables ready for bag packing. Fulfill is one of our key partners in providing food to help us fill those bags up with all the good stuff we can. Pick something up extra from Stop & Shop any time on Saturday, April 25th to donate at the in store collection bin. Your donated goods will help our pantry and others throughout Ocean & Monmouth County address food insecurity in our communities.

Need help with food? We're in the lot at the The Presbyterian Church of Toms River (1070 Hooper ave) every Friday. Lot opens at 7 am. Food distribution starts around 8:30 and runs to about 10-10:30 am.

Want to volunteer? Drop in any Friday. We start unloading the trucks and prepping bags around 7:30 am. Help is always welcome.

Food banks like Fulfill need support now more than ever, and one day can make a big difference.
On Saturday, April 25, Feeding Our Families brings together NBC 4 New York, Telemundo 47, and Stop & Shop for a one-day food drive supporting eight local food banks across the Tri-State.
This time of year is especially tough. Donations slow down, volunteers are harder to come by, and rising costs make it even harder for families to keep up.
Starting at 8 am, you can head to your local Stop & Shop, pick up a few extra items, and help stock the shelves for neighbors who need it most.
