When you make your list of who to give to this season, please keep all our hungry and food insecure nOURish BRIDGEPORT neighbors in mind. Only with your generous donation will nOURish be able to continue distributing groceries, hot meals & fresh healthy produce to the thousands of people we serve every week. As we all know, food is expensive. The supply chain is broken. For our neighbors, adequate food is a daily struggle. They often have to choose between food and rent, or food and medicine. No one should have to make that choice. Together, we can do something about it. Let’s make a choice to love our neighbors. Have a relative who has enough? Give to nOURish in their name. Don’t know what to get your co-worker down the hall? Donate to nOURish in their honor. Remembering a loved one no longer at your family table? Contribute to nOURish in their memory. Overwhelmed by the world’s events? Help nOURish feed people that live on Bridgeport streets. Please put nOURish BRIDGEPORT on your giving list this year. What you will give is not only food – but HOPE! 👉 https://tr.ee/3Uyr88bKuZ #foodinsecurity #donation #giveback #feedtheneed #fooddrive #donatetoday #community #communityhelp #communitystrong #fooddesert #charity #charitablecause #charitablefoundation

Another Feast-In-A-Box in the books! As always, we extend our deepest gratitude to the countless donors, volunteers, and staff who came together to make this happen. Trying to give 500 families the staples they need for a great Thanksgiving dinner is no small task, so we thank each and every one of you who came out to support us and our neighbors! So when you settle down for your Thanksgiving dinner this Thursday, think of the neighbor you met and helped this past Saturday. Think of how they are enjoying the same meal as you. How they have their fears and hopes and dreams as yourself and everyone around you at that table does. If we can all have this one special holiday in common, imagine what else we can achieve together? Please enjoy this video of the feast, and have a happy and safe Thanksgiving🦃 #feast #thanksgiving #fooddrive #charity #feedtheneed #bethechange #community #giveback #volunteeraction #FoodInsecurity #donations #nonprofit
