Join Us for an Enlightening Conversation

Joe,

We hope that you will join us on Wednesday, October 6, 2021 from 7:30pm - 9:00pm EST for a virtual conversation with guest speaker Julie Leininger Pycior. Ms. Pycior, a professor emeritus of Manhattan College, has authored 4 books, 7 public lectures, and countless academic papers and articles.

During this event, Julie will be discussing her latest book, Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton and the Greatest Commandment: Radical Love in Times of Crisis.

To further Off The Street's mission of helping to get the homeless off the streets, we will be charging a donation fee of $20. 100% of all proceeds will go toward our efforts of putting those experiencing homelessness into homes. All donations to Off The Streets Bridgeport - including this attendance fee - are tax-deductible. If you would like to attend this event, please click the Reserve Your Spot button below to reserve a virtual seat (make sure to include your name and email address so we can send you the Zoom meeting details prior to the event date).

Our mission statement:

OTS Bridgeport serves the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless in the greater Bridgeport area by providing much needed security deposits directly to landlords for eligible individuals and families requiring this deposit to secure housing in modest apartments.

Thank you for helping us get those experiencing homeless off the streets one person at a time.

With deepest gratitude,
Off The Streets Bridgeport

"People say, what is the sense of our small effort? They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time. A pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. Each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that. No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do." ~ Dorothy Day

If you want to be scheduled to donate sandwiches, please send an email to ddhhsandwiches@gmail.com
