A homeless man slashed another individual over the repayment of a $20 loan, police said.

Sunday Supper Series Goes Local for Sustainability

Dinner event scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 23 at Hyatt Morristown.

Terry Connolly wants people to know sustainability isn't just about buying from your local farmer. Though that's important, the Community Soup Kitchen and Outreach Center Executive Director wants people to know sustainability is much more than just that. It's her organization, for example.

Sponsored by Hyatt Morristown and the Highlands Dinner Club and benefitting Sustainable Morristown, the tasting event started a year ago will focus its attentions this time on local food sources, from the farmer to the person who prepared what the farmer grows.

Your Vote May Mean a New Car For Soup Kitchen

Community Soup Kitchen is a finalist in Toyota's "100 Cars for a Good" program.

The Community Soup Kitchen has not missed a day of service in 26 years. Providing 300 meals a day to those who need them, including a growing number of working poor in the Morristown area, the organization serves up its fare in all seasons and under all conditions (including the snow storms last winter that pretty much closed down everything else), according to Marla Drury, director of development of the Community Soup Kitchen Outreach Center. The Community Soup Kitchen has an opportunity this Saturday, May 28, to win a much-needed van to pick up donations of food and supplies. Currently the organization has no vehicle for this task. The soup kitchen is one of 500 finalists in Toyota’s "100 Cars for a Good Program," which will award …
