On December 1, 2020, people all around the world are coming together to tap into the power of human connection and strengthen communities and change our world. Will you be one of them?
The Friends will be participating in GivingTuesday and we need your help!
By joining the GivingTuesday movement, you’re proving that in times of uncertainty, generosity can bring the whole world together.
Here is how you can get ready to give:
1. Mark your calendar!
2.
Give. On December 1, go to www.ridgefieldfriends.org and donate. You can also support our organization in these ways, like buying off our
Amazon Wishlist, checking in on the new
Habitat Restoration Blog, and more.
3. Spread the word. Encourage your friends and family to join you in creating real impact on December 1 by sharing what our mission means to you and why you support our organization, like your special trips to the Refuge with the family, a habitat project you’ve worked on, or special moment you will treasure forever.
Here are some more ideas –
1. Follow us on your favorite social media, whether that is Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and share our posts with your personal Refuge stories.
2. Create your own Facebook Fundraiser for the Friends and tell people why our mission matters to you,
Or, 3. Forward our emails to everyone you know- like that cursed email thread from the 90’s!
Make sure to use hashtag #GivingTuesday and tag us so we can share!
Let’s rally together to build stronger communities.
![Updates from Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge's Carty Unit Construction! Work on the Community Nature Center is now fully in progress. While the temporary bathrooms and limited parking haven't caused major issues so far, please keep these changes in mind when you visit, especially as the nicer weather continues. Also, remember to pack water, a snack, and even a small first aid kit for your visit, no matter how long you plan to stay! 🌳💧🥪 https://www.fws.gov/refuge/ridgefield (link in the flowcode in our bio)
