East Ridge Needy Child Fund

Grateful!!

The East Ridge Police Department, in conjunction with East Ridge Optimist Club will hold the annual food drive on May 30th, 2026, 10-1. Come see us, 5330 Ringgold Road, East Ridge at Southern Honda Powersports! Bring nonperishable food items or donations to help to support our neighbors fight food insecurity.

Thank you!

Today we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice purchased freedoms we never want to take for granted.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, may we pause to reflect with gratitude and remember those who paid the ultimate price. From all of us at the East Ridge Needy Child Fund, thank you to the heroes and families who have served and sacrificed for our nation. 🇺🇸
