RVNAhealth Launches Community Food Drive to Support Neighbors Struggling with Food Insecurity Written by Nancy Rowe
This summer, RVNAhealth is partnering with the Danbury Health Department to ensure the Covid-19 vaccine reaches underserved communities where obstacles, such as time, transportation, information, and access, are preventing people from getting vaccinated.
As part of this public health initiative, RVNAhealth will also be bringing a “traveling food pantry” into these communities to help neighbors who are experiencing food insecurity. After receiving their vaccine, community members will have the opportunity to “shop” in the food pantry and bring nonperishable items home to share with their families.
Ridgefielders Organize Memorial Day Car Parade Written by Brian Anthony
Having discovered that the 2021 Main Street Memorial Day parade was once again canceled due to Covid concerns, local residents have banded together to re-create last year’s vehicle parade through town. Organizer Brian Armstrong said, “We were all disappointed to find out that this year s Memorial Day parade was canceled, but as soon as we heard the news, we knew we had to bring back the Memorial Day Car Parade!”
Building on last year’s success, in which over 65 cars participated, Armstrong says he expects this year’s car parade to be even bigger and better. “Last year the idea came to me on the Friday before Memorial Day and we worked through the weekend to try to get the word out and make sure everything was a go for Monday. This year we had enough time to start promoting the event earlier, so I’m hoping more people have a chance to participate, he remarked.
