TO OUR DONORS
You are the best! Our programs cannot succeed without donations from compassionate people like you. We are proud of our record over these many years that 96 to 97% of donations go directly in our programs. Please mail all donations (check or money order) to our office at 810 Fourth Ave. Asbury Park, N.J. 07712. All donations are tax deductible and written acknowledgements are mailed promptly. Contributions large and small are gratefully accepted.

You can designate your contribution to be used at our discretion or you can request one of the following programs. For other ways to donate, click How to Donate.

Nutrition (Meals-on-Wheels) - Prepares approximately 400,000 meals annually to the elderly population of Monmouth county not only takes cooperation of our large staff, the coordination of over 600 volunteers, the Monmouth County funding grants but donations from meal recipients and people like you! This is a massive undertaking but when you consider that we feed approximately 4,000 seniors annually, all would agree that the combined efforts produce the most worthwhile results.

Rental Assistance – Working poor families struggling with the high cost of rents. Often, a family that has fallen on hard times which can mean a job loss, a father or mother meeting an unfortunate accident, a child stricken with leukemia or a family where the breadwinner just does not have the skills to earn more than $10 an hour and simply cannot survive on unskilled wages. Add child care, medicine, transportation and food and you can be assured that eviction and homelessness are just around the corner.

Affordable Housing – While we have completed construction on 16 houses and fulfilled the American Dream” of homeownership we are just beginning. With major plans to build in Asbury Park and Neptune, we seek contributions as we build only affordable units and seek no profit for ourselves. Your contribution would help us to cover the cost of our operation to ensure very low sale prices to our working poor, first-time homeowners.

NJ Youth Corp of Monmouth County – Our newest program is to help men and woman between the ages of 16 – 25 who have not been able to complete high school, have a second chance at education. These young adults have been misguided somewhere along the way. What a challenge! Simple reading and writing skills need to be enhanced. Job training is also a substantial component. Because a high ratio of teacher to student is required, we cannot operate this program without additional support from our donors.
