Keyport Ministerium Food Pantry

Keyport Ministerium Food Pantry The Keyport Ministerium Food Pantry provides temporary and ongoing assistance to persons residing in the Northern Bayshore area of Monmouth County.

For many individuals our organization is sometimes their last resort. Recent years have taken a toll on many families and Senior Citizens due to the economic situation in our country, health reasons and other circumstances. The number of lay-offs, cost for food and other items continues to rise making it difficult to make end meets. Some of these families and seniors are truly in need but are too

proud; don’t know who to turn to or where to seek assistance. The purpose of our organization is to improve the quality of life for our clients by providing them with nourishments for both body and mind. The staff and board of the Keyport Ministerium Food Pantry is 100% volunteer. No salaries are paid to anyone including the Board of Trustees. We are located at 42 Elizabeth St, Keyport. Donations are accepted Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, from 9am -5 pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12-5 pm. There are metal bins for non-perishable food outside of the pantry. If you would like to donate perishable food, please call 732-888-1986 to make arrangements. Ask for Natalie. We are currently serving the following communities:

• Aberdeen
• Cliffwood Beach
• Cliffwood
• Hazlet
• Holmdel
• Keyport
• Marlboro
• Matawan
• Middletown
• North Middletown
• Union Beach
