Students who took part in the food drive helped load canned food onto a van sent by the Thomas Merton Family Center, a nonprofit that provides food and other free services to the community.
Celebrate “50 Seasons of Gratitude and Giving” with us at this year’s Friendsgiving as we honor the Thomas Merton Family Center’s 50th anniversary! For five decades, the Merton Center has been a welcoming place of support and compassion for our Bridgeport community. This Friendsgiving, experience the Center’s legacy through a series of powerful videos that share stories of resilience and community.
Join us in reflecting on 50 years of service and looking forward to many more. Together, we can ensure the Center’s mission continues, bringing hope and dignity to all who walk through its doors.
