Ridley was first recognized as a Township in 1687 and became a first-class Township March of 1906.

The Ridley Township Board of Commissioners, in partnership with the American Red Cross, is hosting a blood drive on Monday, August 16, 2021, from 2 to 7 p.m. at the Ridley's Creekside Center. The original blood drive on Wednesday, July 21, 2021, has been rescheduled due to staffing. Register today: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=Ridley

​

A FEW REMINDERS FROM THE RED CROSS

• Fully vaccinated individuals including staff and blood donors will no longer need to wear face masks or social distance.

• Unvaccinated individuals will continue to be required to wear face masks and social distance.

• Proof of vaccination will not be a requirement. We trust that our blood donors will provide honest responses – it's what our eligibility process is built upon. We will continue to rely on the honesty of our blood donors when it comes to COVID-19 vaccination and face masks.
