Feed the Frontlines Initiative is a call-to-action to provide meals prepared by local Ridgewood restaurants to first responders and community groups during the Coronavirus pandemic.  It is an organized way for people to help feed local healthcare workers and first responders while supporting local restaurants who have been hit hard economically.  Feeding the Frontlines is made up of The Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, HealthBarn Foundation 501(c)(3) and many resident volunteers under the leadership of Mayor Hache. It is a creative solution to help where help is needed.

Feed the Frontlines Helping Those In Need Initiative is a call-to-action to provide ready-to-eat meals prepared by local Ridgewood restaurants to first responders, community groups and people in need during the Coronavirus pandemic.  During the height of the pandemic in Spring 2020, it was an organized way for people to help feed local healthcare workers, first responders and people in need while supporting local restaurants who have been hit hard economically. 

Based on the generosity of the public and the success of the initial program, The HealthBarn Foundation was awarded $1M for 100,000 meals from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) in February 2021 to feed those in need in Ridgewood and in Bergen County.  Our mission continues to build momentum to support local restaurants while making sure the most vulnerable populations in Bergen County have delicious, nutritious ready-to-eat meals on their tables.

This initiative is made up of HealthBarn Foundation 501(c)(3), The Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, Bergen County Food Security Task Force, Bergen Volunteer Center, DoorDash and many resident volunteers under the leadership of Commissioners Ramon Hache and Tracy Zur. It is a creative solution to help where help is needed.  For more details, click here for the press announcement.
