Ridgefield Volunteer A 'Wonderful Mentor' and Local Hero

RIDGEFIELD, CT — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we're working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

Susan Ferguson is a volunteer, and so the backbone of any charitable organization with whom she's involved. In Susan's case, both Meals on Wheels and Toys for Tots benefit from her hard work and big heart.

Susan was nominated by Greg Herzog, who calls her a "selfless giver" and a "wonderful mentor" who is always looking to help the needy and give the disadvantaged a leg up.

Thank you for all you do, Susan!
