The Episcopal Bridgebuilders
"A coalition of Episcopal churches in the Greater Bridgeport area committed to addressing the need for affordable housing in our area and the problem of racial, ethnic and socioeconomic division among our people.

Operation Hope
"Operation Hope provides a variety of helpful services to people who are homeless and at-risk of homelessness. A majority of program participants first contact Operation Hope when they are in need of assistance with housing or shelter and food. Often, they are already homeless. The Shelter and Food programs offer emergency assistance. We operate an 18-bed Shelter for Men, a 5-bed Shelter for Women and a 2-unit Shelter for Families, a Community Kitchen and a Food Pantry."
