Kindness Rocks Will Be Spread Around Howell For Anyone To Take

HOWELL, NJ — Next time you're shopping around town you might stumble upon a bunch of rocks with some positive and colorful messages written on them.

They were painted by volunteers with the intention of reaching the homes of those who need the encouraging words.

The project was organized by Howell Alliance, an organization that works to prevent substance abuse, underage drinking, underage marijuana use and other at-risk behaviors and to promote mental well-being and reduction of the stigmas associated with substance use and mental health disorders.

The point of the “Kindness Rocks” project is to spread messages of positivity, resiliency, and well-being.

Participating businesses and other organizations in Howell will have a box displayed in their locations so that customers can take home a rock as needed.

Through a QR code, people can also find out the rock decorator’s name or organization and access more information and resources from Howell Alliance.

To volunteer as a rock decorator or rock box business host, reach out to Alliance coordinator Christa Riddle, at criddle@twp.howell.nj.us. or 732-938-4500 ext. 4012.
