Help Your Neighbors in Need Stay Warm this Winter!

Bridgeport Rescue Mission is collecting coats, hats, gloves scarves and boots for the homeless and working poor in the lead up to Thanksgiving. Click here for details...

Bridgeport Rescue Mission urgently needs 15,000 coats to distribute to the homeless and working poor during our Thanksgiving Dinner Pantry Box and Coat Distribution Program the week leading up to Thanksgiving and throughout the winter months.  Here's how you can help ...

  • Hold a drive in your church, organization or school for new or gently used coats for men women and children of all ages and sizes.  Or simply collect those you no longer use from your own closets.  (Hats, gloves, scarves and boots are needed too.)
  • Deliver your winter-wear contributions to our Donation Center, 1069 Connecticut Ave, Unit 2-B , in Bridgeport. The donation center is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.  but we will accept coats any time.  It would be most helpful to receive coats by November 12th in order for us to prepare for our distribution activities.
  • If you need more information, contact Jennifer Christie-Jump at 203-333-4087, ext. 116.


Thank you for helping our neighbors in need stay warm this winter. Your kind generosity will warm their hearts, too!

FHA Exposed, you can rest.

Atticus, Ralph Arnone is next scheduled to appear in court on July 1st, at which point he isRead More expected to enter a plea. As an aside, one isn't supposed to go to bed and wake up still angry at the same thing, day in, day out, week in, week out, month in, month out... I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I care deeply about firefighters and I'm genuinely concerned about you. You were exposed to a lot of chemicals in your career. You may have some endocrine system damage or something causing an electrolyte disorder. This stuff starts out with things like joint pain and minor psychological implications but, it gets much, much worse. Get to the doc. Maybe you're just a spicy guy, maybe Ralph hurt you in some terrible way, or maybe you are sick and as a result, you'll be facing a much shortened a painful life. Honestly, I'm not trying to give you a hard time or pick a fight.

Well thanks for your concern Creeky. But at my age I cant say I have lived a shorten life. As forRead More chemicals...well as most of the posters here on this rag say, firemen do nothing 99.9% of the day so I guess the on chemical exposure would be to the big comfy leather chairs in the dayroom. Why do you care anyway Creeky? In your previous posts about me you said, don't feed to trolls. You are not honest Creeky. Take your fake concern and false "honesty" and waste it on someone else. Not trying to give you a hard time, those are your comments about me. Where did you get the info on Ralphy?
Creeky June 19, 2013 at 08:05 am
Atticus, review your own posts. It isn't trolling. It's a vendetta. If you think I'm dishonest,Read More fine. I'm not going to try to speak rationally with someone whom is irrational. Why do I care? Because I've seen how much care fireman are capable of, and how much they give of themselves. It's respect and karma. As far as where I got the info, it's publicly available. If you wanted my help in how to find it yourself, perhaps you shouldn't have attacked my character. You are on your own now.
