On November 26, the mobile food pantry at Bridgeport Hospital will serve its 20,000th allotment of food since the initiative began in 2019. The program, which typically serves approximately 200 households at each distribution, will reach this significant milestone thanks to the continued support of Connecticut Foodshare, hospital volunteers and community partners.
The Nov. 26 mobile food pantry will open early at 9 am to accommodate the Connecticut Foodshare offices closing early for the Thanksgiving holiday. All those in need of food are encouraged to arrive early, numbers will be handed out to those in line starting at 8:30 am.
In addition to the regular Connecticut Foodshare allotment, attendees on Nov. 26 will receive an extra bag of shelf-stable holiday food items, thanks to our Northeast Medical Group (NEMG) Community Outreach Committee’s holiday food drive. The additional bags will be distributed while supplies last, helping families enjoy a more festive holiday meal.
