NEW PROVIDENCE, N.J. — What started as a conversation between two high school friends about the lack of meaningful community service opportunities has grown into one of the most quietly impactful nonprofit programs in the region — and this week, the Berkeley Heights Business & Civic (BHB&C) Association showed up to help.

On behalf of the BHB&C, Executive team members Chris Wang, Kristina Brusco and Tina Heintz presented a $1,000 check to LINC Program — a community resource pantry quietly doing some of the most meaningful work in the region. Operating out of New Providence United Methodist Church located at 1441 Springfield Ave. in New Providence, LINC provides food, hygiene products and everyday necessities to families facing food insecurity, free of charge, free of judgment and with complete anonymity guaranteed.

The donation, part of the proceeds raised from the successful Taste of Berkeley Heights event in March, reflects the BHB&C’s ongoing commitment to supporting programs that serve the broader community.
