Bridgeport Rescue Mission

Dining Room Meals

We serve nutritious meals in our dining room, to our residents and guests as well as individuals and families from the community.

Weekday Food Pantry

In Coastal Connecticut, many people struggle to put food on the table because 70% of their paycheck goes to pay rent. Our Pantry offers fresh produce, dry goods, meat, and dairy items to enable them to feed their families.

Mobile Kitchens

Our Mobile Kitchens and Mobile Pantries serve in impoverished neighborhoods in Bridgeport. Volunteers serve with encouraging words and prayer to guests who cannot come to our Main Campus.

Great Thanksgiving Project

This is our largest outreach of the year! Nearly 5,000 families in Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, Ansonia, Waterbury, and New Haven receive a turkey and bag of fixings each year during this annual event.

SAFE HOUSING

(ABUNDANT LIFE PROGRAMS)

Our Abundant Life Programs offer safe refuge from the streets, three meals a day, showers, health care, and support services to promote independent living. Case Managers work with residents to set goals and connect them with community resources to acquire the personal and vocational skills needed to obtain stable employment, permanent housing, and skills to deal with family and life challenges.

ADDICTION RECOVERY

(NEW LIFE PROGRAMS)

Our New Life Program is a residential program that includes case management, counseling, work therapy, and classroom education with a focus on three core areas: Recovery and Relapse Prevention / Life Skills Development / Spiritual Formation.
