PUBLIC MEAL DISTRIBUTIONS

CLA Meals distribution

CLA partners with distribution centers and other organizations to send out meals by the hundreds, throughout Ocean and Monmouth County, raising spirits of many recipients with a delicious hot meal. 

Large meal distributions also allow for a quick and powerful response to severe emergencies with a large flow of meals at the ready. 

Contact us if near Asbury Park, Lakewood, or Toms River for meal distribution information.

RAPID RESPONSE PROGRAM

Rapid Response Program

Everyone must eat! When disaster strikes, food fuels hearts and minds, and often serves as inspiration and energy amidst challenging circumstances for a family or individual. CLA responds quickly to crisis with nutritional support for several days to several weeks from nearby CLA partner restaurants. 

We then introduce the individuals and families to our Resource Program that helps them return to a sense of normal and security quicker than they may on their own.  

Contact us if you are experiencing challenging circumstances or in urgent need of food.

RESOURCE PROGRAM

Chef Lous Army Field Medic

Our CLA Resource Program saves countless hours for those in need with curated lists of local government and non-profit programs sourced from over a dozen different online databases. 

Separated among types of needs, with program descriptions, eligibility information, and estimated amounts of aid. We help our community find resources already available, and without having to filter through the dozens to hundreds of programs not meant for them.  

Contact us for a personally curated list of local resources.
