The Helping Hands Food Pantry provides Ocean County College and Kean Ocean students with non-academic support to help them succeed. Groceries, snacks, drinks, meals, and non-food essentials are available in the pantry for all students who need short- or long-term assistance. Helping Hands also provides resources for financial assistance, referrals for housing support, and information on the NJ SNAP program.
In addition to shopping in person, Helping Hands offers online shopping using PantrySoft. This program gives students the ability to order food online from home and then pick up their order the next time they are on campus.
By supporting Helping Hands, you are ensuring that Ocean County College can continue to be a hunger-free campus community. "Because Everyone Needs Help Sometimes. And Help Looks Different for Everyone."
