The Seventh Annual Jersey Shore Ride for Food Justice

Cycling for a Cause!

Get ready! The Seventh Annual Jersey Shore Ride for Food Justice is back and better than ever! All proceeds raised from this event directly fuels the life-changing work of the Trinity Center for Community. This comprehensive program is a beacon of hope, providing critical support including:

• Comprehensive food assistance: Operation of a well-stocked food pantry that prioritizes the distribution of healthy and fresh food items whenever available, in an effort to mitigate food insecurity and promote community wellness.
• Community Meal Services: Ongoing Operation of Saturday Soup, a weekly community Meal that has continuously served nutritious food and offered fellowship for over 35 years, providing sustenance and support in a welcoming environment.
• Housing Support and Homelessness Prevention: Implementation of the Radical Well-being program, which offers comprehensive housing assistance and proactive measures to prevent homelessness, with a focus on stability, dignity, and long-term well-being for individuals and families.
• Code Blue: Trinity is the Code Blue warming center for all of Monmouth County. When the temperature drops below 32 degrees we open our doors to the community.
• Community Arts and Music Programs: Organization of vibrant arts and music initiatives designed to enrich cultural experiences and community engagement.

To date, we have collectively raised over $340,000 for the Trinity Center for Community. With your support, the sky's truly the limit as we strive to make an even greater impact this year!
