Although the campus is closed, Ocean County College students facing food insecurity can still get essentials for themselves and their families. OCC has partnered with Fulfill, the Food Bank of Monmouth of Ocean Counties, to provide “crisis boxes,” and, in addition, the college’s Helping Hands Food Pantry is delivering gifts cards and food.

Using the OCC app, students are able to register and coordinate a pickup, for a box of food, which will feed a family of four for four days.
