HIGHLANDS, NJ - The Highlands Business Partnership’s (HBP) Curbside Kindness Program was launched in mid-April in an effort to work with the local food pantries in Highlands and Atlantic Highlands to provide emergency food assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
HBP Curbside Kindness is managed by a group of dedicated volunteers that oversee the bins located at many great Highlands establishments. We simply ask that when patronizing a local participating business, you simply bring a can or non-perishable item and place it in the bin. Volunteers are assigned to each business and empty the bins as needed and then deliver the food to the local food banks.

Must remain in compliance with public health guidelines
TRENTON, NJ - Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., issued instructions for the reopening of churches in the Diocese of Trenton for private prayer only, following all public health guidelines. The reopening may happen as early as May 13, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, or once pastors determine they can safely do so.
In a statement released May 8, the Bishop quoted his religious community’s founder, St. Vincent DePaul, who said: "Wisdom consists in following Providence step by step. And you can be sure of the truth of a maxim which seems paradoxical, namely, that he who is hasty falls back in the interests of God.”
