Neighbors That Care is a group that started in the small Oakland County community of Pleasant Ridge. When residents in Pleasant Ridge realized as many as 5% of their tight-knit community is made up of first responders, they wanted to do something more to help make their day-to-day lives easier. Volunteers decided to work with the Pleasant Ridge Foundation to put together and deliver food baskets for first responders. We have a local pizza restaurant that is going to be providing pizza certificates that first responders can use.
