Ridgely's Run Community Center

To our dedicated volunteers who come out month after month — in freezing mornings, warm sunshine, and rainy days — thank you. Your steady presence keeps our pantry running and our neighbors supported.

Our community has something truly special to celebrate. Many did not even know we had an upper parking lot and we did not have a safe path to it. Thanks to Rory, our new pathway is complete after months of planning, and it stands as a testament to teamwork, generosity, and a tremendous amount of hard work. This project would not have been possible without Rory, completing his Eagle Scout Project, Scouts, Leaders, Families, Community Members and Savage Stone.

Rory led this effort with true Eagle‑level leadership. As he shared:
“Thank you everyone for the very generous support of my Eagle project in both donations and your time. I appreciate all of it. We totaled 258 volunteer hours. The project looks great and is already being enjoyed.”

The amount of work and material that went into this project is remarkable:

Materials and Support
- Approximately 500 cubic feet of crushed stone donated by Savage Stone for the path alone (not including the upper parking lot work they also supported)
- Approximately 1,500 square feet of landscape fabric
- Approximately 600 linear feet of metal edging
- Approximately 80 pressure‑treated 6"x6"x96" posts
- Approximately 600 linear feet of 1‑inch twisted Manila rope
- Machinery and an operator from Savage Stone to grade the pathway, move stone, and dig post holes
- Tree removal and stump grinding covered by Ridgely’s Run

Work Completed
- Stone delivery from Savage Stone and brush‑hogging the path
- Clearing brush, trimming trees with hand tools, and marking the path
- Digging post holes as marked by the Scouts
- Site cleanup throughout the project
- Installing metal edging and landscape fabric
- Setting all fence posts
- Distributing and spreading bulk stone along the entire path
- Installing the rope fencing and adding solar lights to complete the project

This was a true community effort. Savage Stone went above and beyond with materials, equipment, and hands‑on help. The Scouts showed up with commitment and teamwork. And Rory’s leadership brought all of these moving parts together to create something meaningful and lasting.

The path is already being enjoyed by families, kids, and visitors, and it will serve our community for years to come. Thank you to everyone who contributed time, materials, muscle, and support. This is what community looks like.

Volunteers spent Saturday morning making our center look pretty for Spring.

We are very excited to share a project, that has been in the works for few months. We've been working to transform our back of the building into an outdoor area. Many hands have made this possible. Cannot wait to show you the final reveal.

Thank you to our volunteers who helped with our food pantry today.

Last year, we put out a call for help to create a safe pathway connecting our upper lot to the main parking area. We’re excited to share that a dedicated young man stepped forward and chose this as his Eagle Scout project—and what a project it is!

He is currently working on building a 300-foot pathway that will make access easier and safer for everyone in our community to our center.

We also want to give a huge thank you to Savage Stone for their incredible support. They have generously donated crushed stone for the pathway and have gone above and beyond by helping clean up our upper lot and laying down fresh stone there as well.

This project is a true example of community coming together. Stay tuned for more updates as progress continues!If

Winston and Kevin are loving their new swag! The guys take great care of of our center!!!

We hope to see you soon!
