Ways to Help
However you help St. Brigid's, it turns into food for our neighbors in the Greater Long Branch area.
Four Ways to Help
-
Donate funds
We are a volunteer team, so the majority of every dollar goes directly to feeding our neighbors.
How to give -
Volunteer your time
Pantry days, kitchen shifts, and unloading and processing food deliveries on Tuesdays and Fridays. Someone works alongside you your first time.
Volunteer with us -
Host a fundraiser
Restaurants, clubs, teams, and neighbors have raised money for St. Brigid's. Tell us your idea and we will help you plan it.
Let's talk about your event -
Sponsor a food drive
Schools, offices, churches, and businesses run drives for us all year. We give you the list of what we need most and take the donations at the door.
