Toms River Food Distribution Sites, Day Change For Holiday Week

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Toms River Township and Fulfill are distributing emergency food kits again this week for families in need due to the coronavirus.

However, the food distribution will be on Thursday this week, because of the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

The food kits will be distributed beginning at 9:30 a.m. Thursday at the Toms River Presbyterian Church, 1070 Hooper Ave., and at South Toms River Elementary School, 419 Dover Road, South Toms River.

The changes are for this week only, officials said. Food kits will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.

The distribution is designed to limit interaction and promote social distancing, and will be performed drive-through style. Families should remain in their vehicle at all times. Please keep your windows closed and pop the trunk and volunteers will deliver the food to the trunk or truck bed.

Just Believe, Inc., also is distributing food this week, on Friday. That distribution will begin at 2 p.m. at First Assembly of God Church, 800 Bay Ave.

In addition to those distribution sites, The Salvation Army at 1738 Route 37 east also distributes food, by appointment only. Call 732-270-8393 for an appointment.

If you want to help, Fulfill is accepting donations on its website or you can donate to Just Believe on its website.
