“Safe Harbor…”

“I’d rather stay here for Christmas. I’m too scared to go home.” Most of us look forward to family holidays – Christmas, Easter, July 4th, Thanksgiving – opportunities for families to come together, have fun and celebrate … unless, that is, you come from a troubled family where drugs and alcohol are the focal point of the celebration.

Nancy deMaille, our Women’s Services Director shares that “many of the women in the New Life Program choose the safe harbor of the shelter during holidays. This past Christmas, for example, the girls enjoyed a lovely Christmas dinner together, went to see the movie “The Nativity” and then came home and sang Christmas Carols.

Thanks to you, our faithful donors, for providing the prayer and financial support necessary to make the Bridgeport Rescue Mission a safe harbor for men and women as they grow to become the people God created them to be!”
