Since 1984, Fulfill has been fighting hunger, supporting our neighbors in need, and strengthening the communities of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. With wide-ranging programs and services, Fulfill is more than a food bank. It is a testament to the power of collective action against hunger, and of the positive impact of offering comprehensive resources that address systemic barriers and serve as a beacon of hope.
Going forward, Fulfill wants to realize its unwavering vision of a vibrant, resilient community that ensures our neighbors’ food security needs are fulfilled. In order to do that, we need not only more food, but also the space and equipment to store and transport it.
We never want to turn away a hungry person for lack of food, and we never want to turn away food donations for the lack of an adequate warehouse and refrigeration.
As we enter our fifth decade of fighting hunger and improving lives in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, Fulfill is taking a bold step forward by launching an ambitious yet achievable $29 million campaign to strengthen our commitment to ensuring everyone in our community has access to the nutritious food they need to thrive.
