WELCOME
Manasquan Cares was founded in the wake of the devastating damage caused by hurricane Sandy as a mechanism to provide humanitarian aid to help local families who had suffered catastrophic losses during that horrible coastal event. As a result, the primary goal of our organization is to raise significant funds to be available should the unfortunate need arise due to another local catastrophic natural disaster. While we are off to a good start thanks to the support of our generous Manasquan Community, we have a long way to go.
Manasquan Cares also currently helps local individuals and families on a limited basis who are in severe distress or in dire need of immediate interim humanitarian aid or assistance. For example, while there have been no emergency aid requests thus far in the current year, Manasquan Cares has provided over $3500 in emergency aid to four local individuals and families over the prior two (2) years.
Want to know more? For transparency purposes, as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt not for profit organization run by volunteers, Manasquan Cares files with the IRS an annual informational document called an IRS 990 form, which sets forth our annual financial health, including income, expenses and spending. This information is openly available and posted online to the public at IRS.Gov.
The all-volunteer board of Manasquan Cares would like to thank you again for your continued support and generosity as we look to aid our local community.
Supporting Our Community
MISSION STATEMENT
Manasquan Cares strives to provide humanitarian or hardship assistance to relieve human suffering caused by natural disasters or other emergency hardships as set forth further below. Manasquan Cares recognizes that Manasquan is part of the greater Monmouth County shore community, which has in the past been subject to severe coastal weather, adversely impacting many individuals. Manasquan Cares therefore strives to provide humanitarian relief to support those in our community who have suffered catastrophic losses due to such unfortunate circumstances as the need arises. These losses could include, but are not limited to, losses related to serious accidents/medical conditions, home displacement due to house fires, flooding or other severe weather or natural disaster-related conditions.
