Tell us about an organization in your town that makes you feel good
The Ridgefield Food Pantry is a wonderful nonprofit organization, part of Ridgefield Social Services, that helps local resident families with financial insecurity. Sunset Wine Party presented by Ancona’s Wines donates all net profits to the Ridgefield Food Pantry in its annual edition.
Where do you go for inspiration and creativity?
Our beloved town is full of creative outlets! Whether walking down on our charming Main St, sitting outdoors in our fabulous local restaurants, visiting the RPAC gallery or the Aldrich Museum, or exploring our many trails- there are plenty of spaces to get the creative juices going!
What do you love about your community?
Ridgefield is a beautiful town, with kind and loving residents. One recent example is the man behind the Ridgefield Grinch who so selflessly spread Christmas cheer to all of our town’s children in such a difficult year for all and in return, the residents contributed to his “bail out money” so he could donate more than $10,000 to our local Meals on Wheels. That’s the spirit of our town!
