contributed /Trumbull Community Women donated nonperishable food items and toiletries to the Mercy Learning Center food pantry in Bridgeport on Feb. 26.
Jane Ferreira, the president and CEO of Mercy, said that the needs of families in quarantine are great and the pantry receives continuous requests for essential items. Community Women also thanked the Trumbull-based Amazon distribution center for its support, which helped to make this substantial donation possible.
Mercy Learning Center, at 637 Park Avenue, accepts donations every Friday between 10 a.m. and noon. Items that are especially needed are shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toilet paper, paper towels, and feminine products, as these are less likely to be received as donations.
