BRIDGEPORT – (November 24, 2021): In an effort to “Say No to the Cold,” LifeBridge Community Services will distribute warm winter apparel to the many families it serves with help from Senator Marilyn Moore. New and gently used coasts and other winter gear will be distributed to LifeBridge clients on Wednesday, December 15 and Thursday, December 16 at their Bridgeport headquarters located at 475 Clinton Avenue.
“Our Family Resource Center is here for those who need it most, especially now that the weather has turned cold,” said LifeBridge Interim President & CEO Frank Farias. “The Community Closet along with our Diaper Day Distributions of diapers and other personal care products is a big boost for families who are struggling. No one should be without warm clothes.”

As in prior years, Senator Moore is helping LifeBridge in this effort by asking for donations of new coats in all sizes for both adults and children through her social media outlets.
