The Ridgetop, Tennessee Pathfinder Club, the Ridgerunners, collected over 2000 food items for Ridgetop Church Community Services in October. They left empty grocery bags with a message explaining that they would be back the following week to collect the filled bags.

With the help of church members and friends, the Ridgerunners filled 108 boxes for Operation Christmas Child which were then delivered to a local collection point.
