A special thank you to those who helped out with our coat and blanket drive during this past Thanksgiving.  We hope you will keep those you have helped in your thoughts...

Ramsey Responds— 2012 (Home Page)

Our Mission

'It isn't easy to define Ramsey Responds.  You could call it a "niche" organization that helps people who have fallen through the cracks.  Or a Referral agency.  A non-profit an fund raising group, or a group that works with others to unify the community.  In fact, it's all of these things and more, and its members have been at is for almost five years now...'

'What is most noteworthy about Ramsey Responds is the degree to which such a loosely-knit organization can get so much good work done by taking advantage of all the organizations within a community.  In this way, Ramsey Responds serves not only to help families or individuals, but works to make the borough a place of greater connection and unity.' (Suburban News, Gina Perfetto)

Ramsey Responds Lists 2010 Fall and Holiday Events

Dear Residents,

There is a small volunteer group in town known as Ramsey Responds... not more than twenty or so core members, but so much more in reality,

In our own way, we reflect the goodness, generosity, cooperation, and kindness of the whole community. We are there to serve with affection, concern and commitment those whose lives have been threatened or altered by illness, job loss, divorce or other circumstances

Ramsey Responds is an organized group of residents providing confidential assistance to community members who find themselves in difficult situations, announces its fall agenda of events:

Keep Someone Warm This Winter:  Ramsey Responds is once again sponsoring a Winter Collection to take place at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 48 Mechanic St., Ramsey.  The organization is accepting gently used coats, comforters, blankets, and other cold weather necessities—specifically, men’s, women’s and children’s winter outerwear—coats, jackets, hats, gloves, boots, etc--bed spreads, linens, blankets and comforters.  Donated items will be available to recipients beginning at 10:00 that morning.

Thanksgiving Food Baskets:  Ramsey Responds will be working with the neighborhood schools to collect Thanksgiving meal items to donate to residents in need.  Items to be collected include turkeys, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potato mix, and canned vegetables.  If you are interested in helping with a donation or assembly of food baskets, please call 201-312-4843.  If you need assistance with a meal this Thanksgiving season, please make a confidential call to Ramsey Responds at 201-312-4843.

Donations to Ramsey Responds are tax deductible, and all contributions are used to further the efforts of the Group in providing community assistance.  Please keep in mind that many employers offer a company match to their employees’ charitable contributions.  Ramsey Responds also welcomes assistance from student groups interested in performing community service.

And, above all, we would like to thank each and every resident who has contributed, whether it be money, services, or items, including the many residents who have done so on an anonymous basis.
