Through Emergency Services, Mercy Center addresses crucial needs such as food insecurity, personal care items, and clothing. * Individuals are referred to on-site programs or other community providers based on specific needs to obtain long-term stability.
Mercy Center’s Food Pantry is open every weekday, and only one of two food pantries is open full-time in the area. The recent expansion of our food pantry (completed in February 2022) increased access for people with disabilities, enhanced our capabilities to distribute a greater variety of foods, including meats and dairy products, and offers self-choice selection in a stigma-free, friendly environment.
This September, we invite you to bring your friends, family, and team together in the name of food security. Follow this calendar for daily ways to take action toward ending hunger here in Monmouth County.
