Take what you need, bring what you can, fill our town with love
Last week, RPS announced that the District will partner with local teen Ruby Weiner for a Food Drive in November*. Each school will collect non-perishables and have designated collection boxes. View pantry locations and lists of requested donations here. Please check sell-by dates and look for cans with tabs whenever possible.
Ridgefield families in need or willing to help others beyond the RPS Food Drive initiative can reach out to Ridgefield Social Services. Thank you to Aramark, the District's food service provider, which will supply meals for families; for more information about this confidential and convenient support, please reach out to building leaders or Andrea McCurry at Aramark. Free and reduced lunch will continue at RPS. A special shout-out to Ruby; Ezra Zimmerman, who donated the collection boxes; the PTA Council, and to all those who have already reached out to help.
*Please note that some schools have already initiated food drives for this month. Farmingville, Ridgebury, and RHS families' donations will go to other deserving local charities. We are all partners and do not want these drives to cause undue stress, confusion, or competition between charities.
