My Nonprofit Reviews

Freehold Open Door is a truly exceptional organization that not only provides year-round support to those struggling with food insecurity, but also plays a major role in the largest food drive of the year, Foodstock. I have proudly volunteered with my three daughters for the last two years - as food drop station unloaders, sorters and packers, and as Neighborhood Drop volunteers.

Freehold Open Door's unwavering commitment to the community is inspiring. During the winter holidays, they help facilitate an Adopt-a-Family program where they match needy families with volunteers who purchase gifts from Wish Lists. I have been a part of this amazing program for three years and it is my favorite project of the year.

The staff is incredibly friendly and compassionate, always going above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of. Advocacy Director Erika is empathetic and patient, she listens to her clients and really makes them feel understood. Pantry Coordinator Alyce strives to keep the pantry well-stocked and her organization makes it easy to find what is needed. She works closely with all of the Pantry volunteers to keep things running smoothly. Executive Director Geralyn oversees the entire operation, brings in grants and establishes community relationships. All three women are huge assets to Freehold Open Door!

I am so grateful that this resource is located in the heart of Freehold Borough and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a helping hand. Thank you to all of the volunteers and staff who make things possible!
