2. The Jersey Shore Parents, Friends, and Families of Lesbians & Gays (Bisexuals and Transgender) are meeting tonight from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church at Shrewsbury. 

The non-profit organization holds a monthly support group in Toms River and Shrewsbury, and are affiliated with the PFLAG national office.  They meet the second Wednesday of each month in Toms River, and the second Monday of each month in Shrewsbury, and are not religiously affiliated or oriented. These meetings are meant to be safe-havens where people can feel safe and know that everything said is kept in confidence.  If you, or a family member, is gay and are struggling with issues please come to the Jersey Shore PFLAG meeting for support.
