Where You Can Donate to the Less Fortunate in East Brunswick

Lend a helping hand to those in need for Thanksgiving.

Want to give back locally for Thanksgiving in East Brunswick?

There are no shortage of organizations who could use your help this holiday season. The East Brunswick Department of Recreation, Parks and Community Services is a designated food drop off point for the Middlesex County Food Organization and Outreach Distribution Services (M.C.F.O.O.D.S).  

Gift cards are always welcome as well, which will help families buy perishable items that the township can’t accept.

Individuals can bring in donations all year from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information call 732-390-6797.
