RIDES PROGRAM GETS GRANTS ⏩

Two of Ridgefield’s leading volunteer groups teamed up when the Ridgefield Thrift Shop presented Rides for Ridgefield with a grant to help it continue its mission of providing transportation solutions for seniors and those with mobility disabilities.

The Thrift Shop supports local nonprofits organizations through recycling, repurposing, and reselling what it calls generously donated goods.

Rides for Ridgefield handled over 970 calls and provided more than 1,260 trips in 2018. Its volunteers have driven residents over 12,800 miles to medical appointments, religious services, Founders Hall, entertainment, social and other engagements.
