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, and meals to students in need. Our office also provides resources for financial assistance, referrals for housing support, and more.

If you, or a student you know, needs assistance with basic needs, come by the center located in the Library (Bldg. #3),
Room 017, or contact us at HelpingHands@ocean.edu or 732-255-0400 ext. 2205.

Helping Hands accepts donations all year. Please contact Kate Moreno at kmoreno@ocean.edu to schedule a drop-off for all donations. Special arrangements are available for larger donations. Monetary donations can be made online at go.ocean.edu/donate. 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.
