Ok, team! We need your help stocking these two good efforts at combatting hunger in our area:⁣

🍎Christ and Holy Trinity Food Drive🍊⁣
AND⁣
🍋Homes With Hope Food Pantry🍒⁣
⁣
⁣The Christ and Holy Trinity Food drive is hoping for NON-PERISHABLE items as well as BAGS OF APPLES OR CITRUS FRUIT to address food insecurity in our Bridgeport community neighbors. Donations can be accepted in the bins in CHT’s Branson Hall at 75 Church Lane from 8 am - 8 pm through March 21st.⁣
⁣
Westport’s Gillespie Center at 45 Jesup Rd is asking for NON-PERISHABLE food donations to stock up the Homes with Hope food pantry. For your safety, the drop-off is contactless. Please wear a mask when entering the Gillespie Center Courtyard. You may leave your donations on the designated table, daily 10am – 4pm.⁣

USED BOOKS!!⁣ We are big fans of used book store

USED BOOKS!!⁣ We are big fans of used book stores and now Westport has our very own opening downtown today, Tuesday 1/26. They have books, CDs, DVDs, and records. This is the best type of recycling if you ask us - reusing! (And old books smell so good 😬) All proceeds go to funding our amazing @westportlibrary Westport Library. Woot woot!⁣ • Located at 23 Jesup Road, right across Jesup Green from the Westport Library
⁣
⁣
P.s. Mind your business if you catch us sniffing the books in the back row. ⁣
