Thank you to Ron Herman, the owner of Wooster Hollow Cafe in Ridgefield!
Ron has been nominated by Ken and Elena Spence who explain: When the lockdown hit and many lost their jobs, Ron saw a community need he knew he could fulfill. In addition to curbside pickup for breakfast and lunch, Ron opened his cafe to anyone who needed a meal, free of charge. He has currently served 2,403 meals to those in need. His Cafe also donates meals to Alfa Y Omega Church, Pivot Ministries, Meals on Wheels, Feeding our Heroes, and Ability Beyond. Ron Herman's mission exemplifies compassion in action.
Compassionate Ridgefield has announced a community-wide program to honor our local heroes while supporting our small businesses.
Here's how it works:
- Choose a local helper to thank
- Make a card or a thank you note
- Purchase a gift card to a local shop or restaurant
- Using social distancing, present the gift card to the local helper and ask him or her to send you a photo
- Email Compassionate Ridgefield the photo
- Visit Compassionate Ridgefield Facebook Page to see the many local helpers
