This year, St. George was been asked to participate with all Trumbull Faith-based communities and organizations in a program called Refill the Pantry to support The Trumbull Food Pantry.  The Refill the Pantry program began in 2022 when a collaboration of churches established a program to address food insecurity in the Bridgeport, CT, area – Trumbull being one of those areas. Approximately 200 families use the Trumbull Food Pantry. As part of St. George’s service outreach this year, we will be participating in 2 food drives. Click onto the following link to learn more about the 2025 Refill the Pantry Food Drive.

We just completed our 1st food drive for this year, when 275 lbs of shelf-stable pantry and personal care items were picked up on Good Friday, April 18th by the Refill the Pantry organization.  These items will be delivered to the Trumbull Food Pantry on Monday, April 21st.  Many thanks to all of St. George’s parishioners who donated items over the past 7 weeks.  Click onto the more information link below to view a larger photo.
