Ridgefield Parks and Recreation Director Paul Roche has received a donation from Mike Taylor of the Taylor Zemo Foundation for improvements to the Ridgefield Youth Barn.
The Barn, an after-school meeting place will soon be a daytime home base for youths with disabilities in the Ridgefield Schools’ 18 to 21 Transition program. The transitional program helps these students develop independent living and employment skills as they move toward adult life.
The foundation, founded by Steve Zemo and Mike Taylor, has also made donations to other organizations in the Ridgefield area including the Ridgefield Visiting Nurse Association, The Ridgefield Library, Meals on Wheels, Productions for Young People and The Women’s Center of Greater Danbury.
