Howell Township

Happy Father’s Day from Howell Township!

Today, we celebrate all the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, guardians, mentors, and father figures who make a difference in the lives of their families and our community.

Thank you for your love, guidance, strength, and the countless sacrifices you make each and every day. Whether you're spending the day with family, sharing stories, firing up the grill, or simply enjoying time together, we hope your day is filled with happiness and appreciation.

From all of us at Howell Township, we wish you a very Happy Father’s Day and thank you for helping make our community a wonderful place to call home.

In observance of Juneteenth, Howell Township Municipal Offices will be closed on Friday, June 19, 2026.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the freedom of enslaved people, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. This historic moment marked a significant step in the Nation's journey toward freedom and equality. Today, we honor the resilience, contributions, and achievements of African Americans and reflect on the enduring principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Join us with Beyond the Laces "Kindness Corner" during Howell Township's July 2nd Celebration.

The Kindness Corner is a special area where businesses, organizations, and community leaders come together to give back to children and families.

Our hope is simple: create tons of smiles, show children that Kindness Through Action is key, and create moments that will resonate long after the celebration ends.

Beyond the Laces started as a children's book and has grown into a national kindness movement reaching schools, communities, and families across the country.

MAKE A CHILD SMILE

There are no sales and no financial transactions in the Kindness Corner. This is simply about giving back. Whether it's a small gift, coupon, raffle prize, giveaway, or fun experience, we're creating a place where kids smile, families make memories, and kindness comes to life.

The Kindness Corner is supported by the John Madden Foundation, TD Bank, Herr's Potato Chips, Topps Trading Cards, Jersey Shore BlueClaws, Texas Roadhouse, and many other amazing companies that believe in giving back and Kindness!!

Only a few tables remain. I'd love to have you be part of it.
