Help Stuff a Truck, Feed the Hungry
The Bridgeport Rescue Mission food pantry feeds a lot of hungry people ranging from single moms to seniors on fixed budgets. In the summer months their pantry often runs dangerously low.
Bridgeport Rescue Mission's food pantry is running dangerously low. Please help us Stuff a Truck to feed hungry families and individuals throughout coastal Fairfield County! Their food pantry runs dangerously low in the summer months.
Bridgeport Rescue Mission contribute their news and priorities via a Patch blog, including blanket drives and coat drives in the fall and winter. They also look for turkeys around Thanksgiving time.
On Friday, July 12th Mission staff and volunteers will be in Greenwich at 2 Stop & Shop supermarkets from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm to collect items the Mission needs most.
