Giving Tuesday is around the corner on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, so this is the time to start considering which local non-profits to support this year. Ridgewood is home to a diverse collection of non-profit organizations, providing access to art, education, athletics, assistance for families, and so much more. Our agents have all of the key details on five local Ridgewood non-profits that would welcome your assistance on Giving Tuesday.
Table to Table
611 Rte. 46 W, Suite 240, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604
Help fight food insecurity when you support Table to Table. This non-profit's mission is to fight hunger while reducing food waste. Table to Table "rescues" food that would otherwise be wasted at places like supermarkets and restaurants and delivers it the same day to those in need. Many of our agents participate in this worthy cause and so can you. Volunteer or learn about other ways to give.
Social Services of Ridgewood
6 Station Plaza, Ridgewood, NJ 07450
Social Services of Ridgewood is another organization Tarvin agents proudly support.
