Bridgeport Rescue Mission demonstrates the love of God to hungry, homeless and
addicted people throughout Fairfield County, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We fight poverty
from the inside out by providing a place of hope and dignity through a yearlong educational program,
biblical counseling and case management. We are funded by compassionate individuals, churches,
businesses, organizations.
At Bridgeport Rescue Mission, our scope of outreach to homeless, near-homeless and hungry men, women and children requires significant funds. Donation drives supplement our resources and stretch our budget with a direct-dollar offset while allowing opportunities for churches, businesses, families and other groups to partner with us. We are grateful for the many ways our community connects with us in tending to the needs of the homeless and hungry. Click here for a list of our urgent summer needs.
An Update On A Life Transformed
I have a very important message for you and the other dear friends who make our frontline ministry possible: Bridgeport Rescue Mission works -- we see God changing lives every single day.
Sidonia is a perfect example. You may remember Sidonia -- she was featured in an issue of our newsletter and on our web site more than a year ago.
Raised in a tumultuous home filled with drug addiction and domestic violence, Sidonia started drinking at age 15 to numb her pain. She quit school and was in and out of violent relationships. At 20 she had the first of her three children, all of whom were taken away from her by the state when Sidonia’s drug addiction got so bad that she could no longer care for them. And her life seemed to go from bad to worse.
