Compassionate Ridgefield is a non-partisan, non-profit organization initiated by a group of Ridgefield residents who understand that living in a welcoming, supportive, compassionate community improves lives. Born out of concerns about that the world, and sometimes Ridgefield, can feel very divisive and polarized at times, we deeply that Ridgefield is OUR town and that, TOGETHER, we can do something to "shift" the culture. Our ultimate goal is to create a Ridgefield where every person--no matter their age, ethnicity, gender, abilities, religion, political or sexual orientation--feels welcome and respected. Compassionate responsiveness can change our world, one person and one act at a time.
