Seabrook and Monmouth University Team Up to Help The Center in Asbury Park

More than 35 Monmouth University School of Social Work students and Seabrook residents gathered at Seabrook, an active continuing care retirement community in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, on April 8 and made more than 200 sandwiches for The Center for Asbury Park’s pantry.

Students participated in the volunteer effort as part of a project for the graduate social work class “Social Work with Older Adults,” taught by Professor Christa Hogan. The sandwich-making project is only one of many volunteer efforts that Seabrook residents take part in each year. In 2015, residents served thousands of volunteer hours both on and off campus.

The Center in Asbury Park, Inc. is a volunteer-based New Jersey not-for-profit service organization, providing support services for people living with HIV/AIDS and their caregivers. The Center in Asbury Park offers its clients and volunteers a safe haven to instill a sense of community and stability in their lives.

Seabrook is one of 18 continuing care retirement communities managed by Erickson Living. The scenic 98-acre campus is located in Tinton Falls, New Jersey and is home to more than 1,400 residents.
