Bridgeport Rescue Mission Turkey Collection

Grab your Friends, Congregation and Coworkers . . . Collect Frozen Turkeys for the Mission's Thanksgiving Dinner Pantry Box Distribution!

Bridgeport Rescue Mission desperately needs donations of 3,500 frozen turkeys to ensure needy families can prepare Thanksgiving dinner. 

The turkeys will be included in the Thanksgiving Dinner Pantry Boxes we’ll provide to near-homeless and impoverished families throughout Bridgeport and South Norwalk.   

The turkeys will also be used in the Thanksgiving Day dinners we’ll provide to hungry and homeless people from our twelve Mobile Kitchen sites and the meals we’ll serve in our dining room to our students and needy men, women and children from the community.

Donate turkeys on your own—or form “turkey teams” with your friends, congregation or coworkers. 

If you or your group can help, deliver your frozen turkeys—12 to 24 pounds each—to the Mission’s Donation Center at 1069 Connecticut Avenue, Unit 2-B, Bridgeport, Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
