We posted back in February about a young Ridgefielder s mission: Ruby Weiner, a 6th Grade Student at Scott s Ridge Middle School and Cadette Girl Scout wants to help young community members experiencing food insecurity by creating a second Little Pantry in Ridgefield.
Due to her hard work dedication to help fellow Ridgefielders, she was awarded a Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation Youth Grant through Youth Service America (YSA). The grant will support Ruby Weiner in leading a community service project that addresses the issue of childhood hunger.
Ruby s goal is to make the second Little Pantry child-focused, with shelves designed to accommodate baby food jars, sealed diapers and wipes, baby toiletries, fragrance-free detergents, and more. A special area for “birthday boxes for kids” with cake mixes and canned frosting will also be created within this freestanding Little Pantry.
