Peoples Pantry

The People's Pantry is a choice model food pantry operating in Toms River that originated in the immediate aftermath of Superstorm Sandy to address Ocean County's food insecurity crisis. Operated by Fulfill, the pantry serves residents struggling with food insecurity by providing a range of goods that vary week to week based on donations, while also offering additional social services including SNAP assistance, utility bill assistance, housing support, and health insurance assistance. The organization aims to break the stigma surrounding food insecurity and educate the community about the prevalence of the problem.
