Donation to Bridgeport Rescue Mission
As part of our Community Gift Program, a donation of $1,000 was presented to the Bridgeport Rescue Mission by Pam Stenger and Marci Simoneau from our Fairfield office. In addition to the monetary donation, they brought the food that they collected in the Fairfield office.
Bridgeport Rescue Mission was founded in 1993 to address the issues of hunger, homelessness and addiction in coastal Fairfield County. They are celebrating over 20 years of fighting hunger one meal at a time.
According to their Fall 2014 newsletter, each month the Mission serves an average of 12,000 prepared meals and distributes 15,000 pantry bag meals to hungry men, women and children throughout coastal Fairfield County. This Thanksgiving alone, they’ll provide a turkey and bag of fixings adding up to more than 20,000 meals!
While their focus is fighting hunger every day of the year, this is the time of year for their “Great ThanksGiving Project”. They are always in need and welcome donations at their Donation Center, 1069 Connecticut Avenue, Unit 2-B in Bridgeport, Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00am to 6:00pm.
