Fulfill is the food bank for Monmouth and Ocean counties along the New Jersey shore, serving more than 200,000 people from its Neptune headquarters through 289 partner agencies. The two counties present an unusual challenge: visible coastal wealth sits alongside real hunger, and a single storm or downturn can push shore families over the edge. Triada Stampas was appointed President and CEO, arriving from senior roles at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and Food Bank For New York City. Fulfill has held a four-star Charity Navigator rating for more than twelve consecutive years.
Fulfill sources food at scale and distributes it across Monmouth and Ocean counties through 289 partner agencies, including pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, day programs, and group homes. It pairs food with services that address the causes of hardship, from benefits-access help to job training, and it is expanding its Neptune warehouse to handle rising demand.
Triada Stampas was named President and CEO after serving on the executive team at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and in a senior role at Food Bank For New York City, giving her deep experience across two of the largest food banks in the region. She succeeded the organization’s previous leadership, which included former New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno.
The service area is Monmouth and Ocean counties on the Jersey Shore. Both are coastal counties where median wealth masks pockets of deep need, and where seasonal economies and storm exposure add instability. Fulfill covers about 200,000 food-insecure residents across the two counties.
Yes. Fulfill is a registered 501(c)(3) and a Feeding America member, and it has held a four-star Charity Navigator rating, the highest available, for more than twelve consecutive years. That sustained rating is a strong signal of financial health and accountability. Bulk buying and donated food mean a gift produces many meals.
Donations and volunteer shifts run through fulfillnj.org. Volunteers sort and pack food and help at distributions, and cash gifts go furthest because of the food bank’s purchasing power.
