Lakewood Community Coalition gave away blankets, sheets, and clothes, while IF NOT FOR GRACE offered showers for the homeless. The Ocean County Health Department provided free vaccines, OPERATION RISE (NJSP) provided literature for comprehensive recovery support, and MMCSC’s ER personnel hosted a clothing giveaway.

By mobilizing essential resources, this initiative offers invaluable support to individuals navigating challenging circumstances, reinforcing the bonds that unite us all in times of need.
