The Ridgecrest Neighborhood Association would like to thank everyone who participated in the Ridgecrest Food Drive for HopeLink food bank over the holidays.

Your efforts helped to make a difference for families in our community.

2011 was a tough year for the Food Bank. Donations were down and need was up. Neighborhood donations helped to stock the shelves with 661 pounds of non-perishable food, valued at almost a thousand dollars.

Local espresso shops Cafe Aroma and Java Jolt were perfect partners for the collection effort. With their drive-up windows, making a donation for HopeLink was as easy as ordering a cup of coffee.

If you did not have an opportunity to make a non-perishable food donation, or would like to make additional donations, you can do so year-round at:
