So inspired by this incredible group of students from Christian Heritage School! 💙

Ms. Negrin’s 6th Grade Bible class spent the school year collecting donations for Bridgeport Rescue Mission through their “Change to Make a Change” project raising an amazing $1,730.60 to support neighbors in need throughout our community.

This week, the students visited Bridgeport Rescue Mission to learn more about the impact of their generosity and how lives are being transformed through meals, shelter, recovery, healthcare, and hope.

We are deeply grateful for young people who are already learning what it means to serve others with compassion and purpose. Thank you to these students, their families, and the faculty at Christian Heritage School for partnering with us to make a difference. 🙏

Because of supporters like you, hope is possible.

We were incredibly blessed to welcome Dave Treen back to the Bridgeport Rescue Mission to perform for the men and women in our program! 🎶✨
Traveling all the way from South New Jersey, Dave has been faithfully leading annual chapel services with us since 2002. For nearly five decades, he has traveled across the country sharing music, hope, and encouragement in missions, prisons, rehabs, clubs, coffee houses, and outdoor festivals. His heart for ministry and passion for reaching people shines through every song and every testimony.
Thank you, Dave, for 49 years of pouring into lives and for continuing to be a part of the Mission family. Your visit was a beautiful reminder that hope can arrive with a guitar case and a willing heart. 🎸❤️

Honored to attend Chick-fil-A’s Celebration of Impact and grateful for their investment in the work happening at Bridgeport Rescue Mission. ❤️ Sarah McDonagh, Strategic Partnerships & Philanthropy Manager accepted the 2026 True Inspiration Award on Behalf of Bridgeport Rescue Mission.

S. Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fil-A, once said, “We’re not in the chicken business, we’re in the people business.” That spirit was evident throughout the entire evening.

Through their “Caring Through Food” initiative, Chick-fil-A is helping organizations like ours meet one of the most basic and urgent needs in our community: access to food with dignity and compassion.

At Bridgeport Rescue Mission, food is often the first step toward something bigger: healing, stability, recovery, housing, healthcare, and hope. Every meal served and pantry visitor is an opportunity to remind someone that they matter and are not forgotten.

We are deeply thankful for partners who believe in caring for communities not just through words, but through meaningful action. Thank you, Chick-fil-A, for helping us continue to serve our neighbors with nourishment, dignity, and hope.

On Friday, May 1st, Bridgeport Rescue Mission's founder Jim Watson visited the new facility at 725 Park Avenue in Bridgeport and toured the space for the first time. During the visit, he reflected on the Mission’s growth from serving meals out of a station wagon in 1993 to becoming a comprehensive organization providing meals, housing, healthcare, recovery programs, and life skills classes today. This milestone highlighted the power of community compassion and long term commitment, and we thank our volunteers, staff, donors, for their continued support.
