Donations for the Bahamas
The Town of Ocean Ridge has partnered up with Palm Beach County Cares to aid Bahamians affected by Hurricane Dorian. Town Hall will serve as a collection site during the normal business hours of 8:30 a.m. – 3p.m. Monday thru Friday. We will be accepting donations from the approved food and supplies donation list which may be seen below. Please be aware that staff will not be available to assist in unloading supplies; therefore, we ask that the proper arrangements are made ahead of time.
Last day to drop off donated items is October 3rd at 3PM.
