Ridgefield Social Services continues to serve those in the community who experience food insecurity. While the "physical food pantry" has been closed, the agency has distributed over $250,000 in grocery store gift cards to Ridgefield residents since March of 2020. By providing gift cards, department officials say they have been able to offer clients better choices, healthier options, independence and more dignity in the process. Ridgefield Social Services is seeking donation to help support the Ridgefield Food "less" pantry with an online donation, check or gift cards dropped off at Ridgefield Town Hall.
