For the past several years, the Thrivent Member Network – Northeast Region has issued a challenge to its members – help “combat food insecurity in communities across the region with the Feed Northeast Thrivent Action Team incentive program.” Holy Cross has been an eager participant for many years, collecting thousands of items for the Bridgeport Rescue Mission (BRM) and earning them thousands of dollars in additional support from Thrivent.

We plan to repeat our success this month by participating in Feed Northeast 2024. We have set a goal of collecting at least 500 non-perishable food items to share with our neighbors at the Bridgeport Rescue Mission. By achieving our goal on time, they will be eligible for an additional $500 donation.

Our collection deadline is October 31, but the faster we reach 500 items, the better the opportunity for the Bridgeport Rescue Mission to earn an additional $500 donation. Food insecurity is real and present in the greater Bridgeport area. Please give prayerful consideration to how you will help our brothers and sisters in need
