FOCUS Bridgeport Update – May

Thanks to the support of the Orthodox community, FOCUS Bridgeport continued revealing Christ’s love through meals, fellowship, food distribution, and outreach to our neighbors in need.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who volunteered, donated, and prayed for this ministry — especially St. Nicholas Orthodox Church for faithfully sponsoring May’s outreach efforts.

Highlights

• Hosted a Mother’s Day Family Night and hot meal service for more than 100 students and families at Beardsley School
• Distributed 175 nourishing after-school snack bags to Beardsley students
• Provided more than 50 homemade meals to our neighbors living on Bridgeport’s East Side

How You Can Help

There is something powerful about serving side-by-side — sharing fellowship, building friendships, and working together as one Orthodox community while caring for our neighbors in need. We invite you to come experience this ministry firsthand by volunteering at one of these upcoming events:

June 11 – Beardsley End-of-Year Snack Bag Distribution
Help prepare and distribute snack bags for Beardsley students. This will be our largest distribution of the year, and extra hands are greatly appreciated!

June 16 – Father’s Day Family Night at Beardsley
Help us celebrate dads and families with a hot meal and fellowship during Family Night. Volunteers are needed to help prepare and serve dinner.

June 27 – Community Meal Service at Holy Ghost
Join us in preparing and serving meals outdoors to our neighbors in the community.

Every meal served and every act of kindness reminds our neighbors that they are not forgotten.
