(Ridgewood, NJ) March 28, 2007 - Several troops of Ridge School Girl Scouts recently conducted a drive to benefit Baby Basics. This vital program, run by Children's Aid and Family Services, provides nutritional and hygienic essentials for babies, along with parent education and support to low-income working families in Bergen County.
