The Ocean County Office of Emergency Management has released a list of donation collection points within the county to better streamline the efforts of local shelters. Many of the centers are collecting all of the basic essentials, including food, clothing, toiletries and cleaning supplies, though several of the locations have made special requests for certain necessary items.
For those looking to donate in Southern Ocean County, the Stafford Township Municipal Complex, located at 260 Bay Ave. in Manahawkin, is seeking paper products and protein bars. Donations can also be dropped off at St. Mary’s of the Pines Catholic Church, located at 100 Bishop Lane off McKinley Avenue in Manahawkin, and at the Little Egg Harbor Township Senior Center, located at 965 Radio Rd.
