Food Dive: 10 Bags, 10 Families
We packed groceries for 10 families right here in Bridgeport.
We asked each family what they needed, went shopping, and filled their bags with groceries chosen for their household.
10 families today, and hopefully many more next time.
This is what the Marlene Correa Foundation is here for—serving our community, one family at a time.
FUND-A-DREAM TODAY!
Be the reason a woman can go to school and change not just their lives, but their entire family's future!
