PLEASE HELP! Bridgeport's Cardinal Shehan Center NEEDS Kitchen Supplies To Feed 300 Kids

The Cardinal Shehan Center is a non-profit organization located in Bridgeport, CT. Since 1962, the Center has served the recreational, educational, and social needs of moderate and low-income families and young people of lower Fairfield County, particularly inner city Bridgeport. Their mission is enriching lives through learning.

The Shehan Center has an active after school culinary program that services children between the ages of 5-14. This cooking program teaches children core cooking and kitchen safety skills that they can take home and utilize. They currently have 100 kids in the program, and this will jump to 300 during the summer. In conjunction with the Westport Farmers’ Market, the kids also take part in “The Farmers to Kids to Community Program” where children can learn to cook with a live chef from the community.

They truly need your help to build out their kitchen and to give these children a place to learn.

PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING ANY OF THE BELOW ITEMS IN GOOD CONDITION.

These items will be collected on May 13 at the Westport Farmers' Market OR EMAIL US and we will happily pick up your items.
