Stuff a Truck Food Drive, Help the Hungry

It's summer and Bridgeport Rescue Mission's food pantry is running dangerously low.  Please help them Stuff a Truck to feed hungry families and individuals throughout coastal Fairfield County.

On Friday, July 12  Mission staff and volunteers will be at area Stop & Shop supermarkets from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to collect items the Mission needs most.  Here are the items as well as the specific store locations where they will have a truck ready to be stuffed.

Friday, July 12th, 10:00am - 4:00pm:   

Stamford 

• 1937 West Main Street  
• 2200 Bedford Street   

Food items needed:  canned soup, beef stew, vegetables, ham, tuna and beans, pasta and sauce, macaroni and cheese, Ramen noodles, cold cereal, powdered drink mix, and coffee.  

If you can help, bring a bag or two of groceries to your favorite Stop & Shop store - or purchase extra while you do your regular grocery shopping.  You'll feel good knowing someone on the streets, a weary mom and her youngsters, a senior citizen on a limited income and so many other struggling people will have a nutritious meal tonight and tomorrow because you care.
