Our current enrollment is approximately 300 food-insecure individuals and families. Although some do not participate every month, our volunteers can always be found preparing food packages for many families in a single day. The churches of the Manasquan Ministerium are located in Manasquan, Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, Brielle, and Sea Girt; however the pantry receives clients from many other Jersey Shore towns. As of 2020, the average percentage of people living in poverty for the five towns already noted was 4.06%. The majority of our clients reside in Monmouth County. Below is a list of the Pantry’s current needs:
- Canned Fruit
- Canned Vegetables
- Fresh Produce
- Pancake Mix
- Flour
- Sugar
- Juice (Regular Size, Not Boxes)
- Crackers
- Toiletries
- Laundry Detergent
- Dish Soap
- Paper Products
- Please no soup, cereal or pasta – our shelves are full
Donations may be brought to the pantry during our operating hours, or left in the black bin located outside the church entrance. Thank you.
