                                           THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS!

The Department of Human Services provides integrated and comprehensive services that promote the welfare of the
community, the positive development of youth, and the strengthening of families.
At the heart of many of our programs and services are the volunteers who make it possible. They serve as coaches
in our recreation programs and drivers who deliver Meals on Wheels to homebound elderly people living in our
community. They sort, pack and deliver donated food for the Thanksgiving Food Drive and they generously donate
gifts for the holiday Adopt A Family program.
Without the energy and generosity of our dedicated volunteers, the department wouldn’t be able to serve so many
people or provide affordable recreation programs for our youth. Thank you for all that you do to improve the lives of
people living in the Township of Ocean!
