Every Friday, a dedicated group of volunteers gather in our parking lot at 1070 Hooper Ave in Toms River to distribute food to those in our community who need it. Distribution begins around 8 am and concludes at noon. Registration is not required. Cars line up in the lot, pop their trunks and volunteers will place the food available that week in the trunk of each car.

Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.
