Ocean County College strives to provide a hunger free campus community. At Helping Hands we provide Ocean County College and Kean Ocean students with non-academic support to help them succeed. In the food pantry, we offer snacks, drinks, a breakfast bar, and meals to students in need. Our services also include resources for financial/SNAP benefit assistance, referrals for housing support, and more.

If you, or a student you know, needs assistance with basic needs, please contact us at HelpingHands@ocean.edu or 732-255-0400 ext. 2205.

Helping Hands accepts donations all year. Special arrangements are available for larger donations. Monetary donations can be made online at the Foundation Donations site. Please choose “Helping Hands” from the drop-down menu.

During off-hours, donations can be dropped off at the Student Life Box Office located in the Larson Student Center, Building #8.
