Organize a supply drive. Put together welcome home baskets. Make a meal.  Create memories.

Every day, Family Promise of the Jersey Shore connects people who want to help with opportunities to make a difference. You don't need to donate thousands of dollars or hundreds of hours of service to make a difference. In fact, you can make a meaningful change for your neighbors in need with one hour of volunteer work or a single donation of clothing, food, or furniture. Won't you join us?​
