The Northern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce, working in partnership with Raine Foundation and Chamber businesses, has established the Beacon of Hope Distribution Center to assist the residents of the Bayshore towns impacted by the Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy.  

The NMCC Beacon of Hope Distribution Center began accepting donations of food and clothing on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 3106 Route 35, in the former Childrens Wear store at the Staples shopping center in Hazlet, NJ. Their Facebook page has contact information and updates about what they need. 

The Center will be the hub for the food, clothing and household items to be donated to help the displaced residents.  The items will be sorted and distributed directly to the affected residents and to organizations for distribution within their network. The Center will be open from 9am to 9pm each day for donation drop offs and pickup.

Local residents who are in need may come to the NMCC Beacon of Hope Distribution Center to select items that they need. Area businesses are providing staff, materials and services to assist the efforts.
