Our current enrollment is approximately 400 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 the 2008 census, in just the five towns already noted, there were 144 families living in poverty and 946 individuals living in poverty. The majority of our clients reside in Monmouth County.

Hello, this is Robert Maes, I am a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Manasquan and also a student at Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft. I am interested in volunteering for the food pantry and would like to know how I could go about that. I see that you have hours on Fridays from 1 to 4. If it is convenient I would like to speak with someone about volunteering this summer.
Thank you,
Robert Maes
