Strikeout For Hunger

Fairfield National has partnered with Fairfield American for a month-long initiative to raise funds and food donations to support the Bridgeport Rescue Mission, a local non profit that serves approximately 50,000 meals every month to those in need. We are asking that players bring a non-perishable food item to each of their scheduled games this month. There will be a bin at every field for your donations. If you're unable to drop your donations at the field, you can drop them at Dave Dobbs’ house, 55 Sedan Terrace. 

While all non-perishable food items are appreciated, the Bridgeport Rescue Mission identified several items they can use the most. 
 

• Canned peas
• Corn
• Green beans
• Sweet potatoes
• Peanut Butter & Jelly
• Canned hams
• Tuna
• Canned Chicken
• Ramen Noodles
• Pasta and Sauce
• Rice
• Hot and Cold Cereal
• Canned soup
• Boxed Mac & Cheese  
• Chef Boyardee meals
• Coffee
• Sugar
• Powdered creamer
• Canned fruit
