A meeting educating residents about free resources to help the community was held in Bridgeport.

The Bridgeport Area Non-profit Collaborative met at McLevy Park to discuss organizations like Alliance, The Klein and Homes for the Brave coming together to offer their services.

“Money should be going out this month to start help those companies employ and help young people,” says Ernie Newton. “We have good things on the table and I’m looking forward to it in the upcoming two years.”

The funding comes from the American Rescue Plan
