The holiday season is about warmth, connection, and giving β and this year, you can help make the season brighter for families right here in Bridgeport. π
At Alpha Community Services YMCA, we see the realities of homelessness every single day. Families without stable housing. Children sleeping in cars. Parents trying to rebuild their lives without a place to call home. Itβs why we do what we do β because everyone deserves dignity, stability, and hope.
π In Bridgeport, housing insecurity continues to rise:
π£Nearly 1 in 4 residents live below the poverty line.
π’Bridgeport makes up 40% of Fairfield Countyβs homeless population.
π Across Connecticut, homelessness has increased 13% in the past year.
These arenβt just statistics β theyβre our neighbors, our coworkers, our community members. And together, we can change that.
Join us for A Home for the Holidays, an evening dedicated to restoring hope and joy for local families. Your support β whether as an attendee, sponsor, or donor β helps provide safe shelter, essential resources, and a sense of belonging during the coldest months of the year.
π« Letβs turn houses into homes and compassion into action.
