Thank you to everyone who supported the 2020 Friendsgiving event. With your help, $132,285 was raised to help support the Thomas Merton Center’s mission to feed the hungry in Bridgeport. This far surpassed our initial goal of $100,000.

If you unfortunately missed the event, you can watch the video below. We have shared the event in its entirety and even broke it down into segments for your convenience. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
