200th Anniversary
As times change, so do the needs of many. The work of the Society continues with referrals from many established organizations: Hartford Healthcare, Yale-New Haven Hospital, The Agency on Aging, Center for Family Justice, Family Services Woodfield, Operation Hope, area churches, to name a few. Aid helps families with gas, oil, water and electric bills. Requests continue to be made for mattresses and bedding, school uniforms, dental work, eye care and medical bills, air-conditioners and refrigerators, home repairs and security. The requests are infinitely varied and often far reaching.
The Bridgeport Ladies Society also supports approximately one hundred children in various summer camps each year.
