Read on for some of the many ways you can help…

Neighborhood Drop is our most effective method of collecting food donations. It doesn’t take much time, but it requires a lot of people of all ages! So even if you help in other ways, please consider signing up to help with Neighborhood Drop as well.

Look for these spots:

• Neighborhood Names (ie. Boro 12A Cannon Rd) – Select one or more neighborhoods that you will cover. You’ll drop off bags to residents in that neighborhood then pick them up at a time you choose and bring them to one of our drop-off stations.
• Neighborhood BAG Weigh/Box Station – assemble boxes, weigh and/or box FOODSTOCK Neighborhood Drop deliveries and load the truck.

We need lots of people to help prepare and/or serve food at the Foodstock event. Look for the following spots:

• Food Volunteers (Ages 13+) – serve hot and cold buffet items at the food tents, walk among the crowd serving hors d’oeuvres, etc.

There are plenty of other ways to help! Look for many different spots including the following examples:

• Freehold Independent Firehouse #1 SETUP (Ages 16+) – help set up tents, tables, banners, etc.
• Food Drop Boxing Station (All Ages) – put boxes together that will hold the food donations and box donated food
• Food Drop Station Unload Cars (Ages 14+) – unload food donations from donor cars
• Food Drop Weighing Station (Ages 14+) – weigh all food donated and complete slip to record donor data (Name, Pounds weighed)
• Food Drop Truck Loading Station (Ages 14+) – load donated food that has been boxed onto the truck
• Grounds Clean-up (All Ages) – keep the whole area looking great during and after the event
• Parking Attendant (Ages 16+) – direct traffic and help people find parking spots
