November 16, spread Thanksgiving cheer with Open Doors! Turkey Transit & family craft activity
Join Open Doors for a morning of fun and giving back on Saturday, November 16! You can RSVP for just one event or sign up for both!
Kick off the morning with the 5th annual Turkey Transit food drive

Join Ridgefield, Darien, and Brookfield Running Company for the most active food drive of the year! Registrants start at Veteran’s Memorial Park & Marina in Norwalk, and run 1 mile to Open Doors. How does the food get there? YOU GET TO CARRY AND DELIVER IT! Get creative; however you can carry your goods is up to you. Backpack? Stroller? Big biceps? All good!
After the delivery, run the 1 mile back to Veteran’s Memorial Park and enjoy refreshments and light bites OR continue on to complete a total of 5 miles along the water. What a great way to kick off your Saturday and the holiday season!
