The Taste of Ridgefield has been an event in past years that builds business for participants while raising funds for the Ridgefield Rotary High School Scholarship Program, a program to help local high school students go to a college of their dreams and Rotary’s Community grants to non-profit organizations. This one fundraiser accounts for roughly 80% of the total funds raised each year by the Rotary to support the Ridgefield community
