St. James Church of Bradley Beach Food Pantry

The Bradley Food Pantry was founded in 1982 by Eleanor Pierson in conversation with her priest at St. James Episcopal Church, to help families in need in the central shore towns of Monmouth County. Originally a small informal offering, the pantry has grown into a vital feeding program serving thousands of clients annually across Bradley Beach and surrounding communities including Asbury Park, Neptune, Neptune City, Ocean Township, Tinton Falls, Avon, Belmar, Lake Como, and Wall.
