Fulfill accelerates food security throughout Monmouth & Ocean Counties by leading a collaborative movement that connects people to food and related resources while also addressing systemic barriers to self-sufficiency and well-being.
Food assistance is the foundation’s defining line of work, and its 2025 grant record shows that mission operating at scale across a network of churches, dioceses, pantries, and community agencies. The largest recent grant went to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for food and related pantry assistance, while The Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey also received a large award for the same purpose. Those awards sit alongside substantial support for local pantry partners such as Mercy Center Food Pantry in Asbury Park and Lunch Break in Red Bank, both funding food and related pantry assistance. The Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties Inc D/b/a Fulfill channels its resources toward household food security, basic food staples, meal assistance, and emergency food distribution. Its funding profile reflects a direct-service model: grants are mostly in-kind support for food distribution and pantry operations, with a strong emphasis on partner agencies that deliver food to local residents. The recent grants list also includes faith-based intermediaries and community organizations, showing that Fulfill works through a broad service network rather than a single delivery channel.
One major theme is pantry support. In 2025, Fulfill gave $985,879 to A Need We Feed Inc in Toms River and $569,215 to Keyport Ministerium in Keyport, both for food and related pantry assistance. Another recurring area is support for community institutions that distribute food locally, including $312,177 to Cedar Creek Community Church in Bayville and $293,340 to Destiny Community Dev Corp in Brick for the same purpose. The funding also reaches community-based service providers with food security roles. Jewish Family & Children's Ser in Asbury Park received $254,904, while Jersey Shore Dream Center in Neptune received $164,975, again for food and related pantry assistance. Several awards support pantries embedded in religious or neighborhood organizations, indicating that the foundation uses established local networks to move food and pantry aid where it is needed.
Grant sizes vary widely. The distribution shown is $14,815 at the 25th percentile, $38,552 at the median, and $138,887 at the 75th percentile, with much larger awards reaching well above that range for pantry assistance. The pattern is predominantly repeat-style support within a local network rather than isolated one-off gifts, and 92% of grants go to recipients in New Jersey, the foundation’s main giving state. The active grant-program list shows a mix of unsolicited and invitation-only or historical capacity-building channels. Fulfill also combines direct food distribution with structured support for partner agencies, including equipment and pantry-operations assistance.
