is a program like none other! It brings out the best of government, community, business, volunteerism and most of all giving back! The program requires a tremendous amount of organization and commitment on the part of all to run smoothly and this team does it with style! Congrats to all on a great success!

We reached an important milestone this week for the Ridgewood Feed the Frontlines initiative! The final payout from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority Sustain & Serve was delivered to participating Ridgewood Restaurants for a total of $2m for phase 2! We purchased 200,000 meals from 20 restaurants who served up a nutritious, hot meal 7 days a week! From pantry surveys we learned that these meals increased their clients nutritional intake compared to what they normally consume - thumbs up! And, all of this goodness was delivered by a fleet of 400 volunteer drivers! Congratulations to everyone who helped… we all made a difference! Stayed tuned as we apply for phase 3!

Oktoberfest lit up the West Village last weekend with hayrides, a kids corner, community orgs, fall florals, personalized historical house maps, free cuts from a local barber, clothing vendors, a biergarten, fresh roasted nuts, honey & a (reusable) swag bag with local offers & delicious foods!
The scarecrow contest was a hit as were the many vocalists and bands that played day & night! Many thanks to the volunteers and committee members for creating this feel-good happening in the Village!
