Testimonials from People in Our Community
“There are other places that give food, but Ritter Center is a secure place to go and where I can get help with almost anything a human can really need.”
“People in need were the inspiration. It began with an opportunity to donate food, canned goods and general household items like sheets and towels. It was intended for anyone and everyone. It was understood that life can be difficult and some people just couldn’t get by without a little extra help. This is something important as a community. There is a need everywhere. Ritter Center is a way to focus locally.”
“It makes me feel confident with life. Helps me look forward. I know everyone there is there to help and enjoy what they do. If I need something I can go to Ritter Center and be helped or be pointed in the right direction.”
