Annual Ocean Township Thanksgiving Food Drive

Each year the Township provides at least 80 resident families with food “baskets” during the Thanksgiving Food Drive. Food “baskets” (technically boxes) are collected through the schools, from volunteer organizations and from individuals. These “baskets” are then delivered to our residents who have expressed a need.

The non-perishable items below (in quantity for a family of 4-6) assist in providing a holiday meal and food for susequent meals. Any additional items would also be appreciated but please note that only items that have a shelf life should be included.
