Recently Councilman Deauna and Pascual delivered food to seniors at Brookside Gardens thanks to another grant the Borough received through the "Feed the Frontlines" program.
A big thank you to Lynn Bartlett, the Executive Director of the Housing Authority & Housing Development Corporation of Bergen County, for helping us coordinate this event.
Feed the Frontlines – Helping Those In Need Initiative began as a call-to-action to provide ready-to-eat meals prepared by local Ridgewood restaurants to first responders, community groups and people in need in the height of the pandemic in Spring 2020, it was an organized way for people to help feed local healthcare workers, first responders and people in need while supporting local restaurants who have been hit hard economically. This initiative earned the volunteer leadership team the 2021 NJ Governor’s Jefferson Award for volunteer program in September 2021.
