Reallocating funds that would have gone to spring school events canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Highlands Education Association, along with the Highlands PRIDE committee, donated 200 lunches to local health care workers. The lunches were delivered to Monmouth Medical Center and Jersey Shore University Medical Center COVID-19 units over the last two weeks. The PRIDE committee, consisting of Rachael Stockton, Nicholas Mahoney, Lauren McBain and Samantha D’Andrea, teamed with The Domesticated Dad caterer in Belmar to support the hospital teams that have worked tirelessly to combat the pandemic on the frontline. The Domesticated Dad supported this endeavor by providing a significant discount to allow 200 meals to be donated to healthcare workers.
