Optional Fulfill Tool Donation: 

﻿We are collecting new garden tools to donate to the Fulfill Food Bank garden in Neptune, where volunteers grow organic food and native plants and their tools are perpetually dull and beaten up! If you would like to contribute, please bring a pair of new garden shears, snips, or scissors. Long-handled shovels/spades are also welcome.



VOLUNTEER - We need volunteers to help plan and prepare for the celebration and to help at the event on January 29. If you are interested in being part of the party team, please send an email to monmouth@NPSNJ.org. Put VOLUNTEER in the subject line please.
