Donation will be accepted at all OceanFirst Bank branches located throughout central and southern New Jersey, including in Marlton.
While members of the public give generously during the holiday season to those in need, the demands experienced by community food banks during the holidays often leads to severe food shortages throughout January and February.
In an effort to relieve these shortages, OceanFirst Bank has invited their employees, customers and neighbors to lend a helping hand by participating in the bank’s annual community food drive.
The food drive continues through Feb. 6 and will benefit the Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
During this time, food donation bins will be available at all 60 OceanFirst Bank branches located throughout central and southern New Jersey.
This includes the bank’s Marlton branch, located at 741 Route 73.
Although all food donations are appreciated, there is a great need for dietary staples and non-perishable items (nothing in glass), including:
- Peanut Butter, jelly
- Canned tuna
- Canned beans
- Baby Formula
- Corned beef hash, beef stew, spam
