Ridgefield High School Interact Club Partners with Playhouse and Collects Over 4,000 Toiletry Items for Jericho Partnership Written by HH
The Ridgefield High School Interact Club, the youth arm of the Rotary Club, recently conducted a toiletry drive called City Drop Off Project and collected over 4,000 items that were donated to Danbury-based nonprofit, Jericho Partnership.
Before the holiday season, District Representative and President of RHS Interact Club, Abby Sutcliffe reached out to Ridgefield Playhouse Executive Director Allison Stockel to see if she would be willing to house a collection box outside of The Playhouse. Stockel didn’t hesitate and was eager to support the mission! In fact, Stockel is a longtime Jericho Partnership volunteer!

RIDGEFIELD This year, Jan. 18 marks the 25th anniversary of Ridgefield’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, honoring the legacy of the great civil rights leader with an awards ceremony, speakers and performances.
This year, the resident who started this event will be recognized for his unique contribution.
Every year The Spirit of Dr. King Award is given to a Ridgefield resident for their outstanding commitment to community service and selflessness, to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King. This year will be special, not only because of its 25th anniversary, but because for the first time it will take place virtually.
