Toms River Assisted Living Facility Raises Funds For Kids With Cancer

TOMS RIVER, NJ — A local assisted living and memory care facility has helped raise funds for families with children who have cancer.

The Chelsea at Toms River teamed up with Ocean of Love, the Toms River-based nonprofit organization that directly helps children and their families with the financial and emotional support they need.

The Chelsea hosted a grab-and-go townwide event providing three-course dinners for a small donation and raised $1,000, officials said.

“This is a great cause near and dear to many of our hearts including our residents at The Chelsea,” said Mandy O’Shaughnessy, executive director at The Chelsea at Toms River. “We hope we can continue to provide more support in the future.”

“We are very lucky to have local businesses like The Chelsea that genuinely care about helping children who are in undeserving circumstances,” said Theresa Segui, executive director at Ocean of Love.
