Bridgeport police are asking for the public's help in supporting homeless veterans.
The department is looking for donations to benefit Homes for the Brave.
"We're looking for food, clothes, toiletries, cleaning items, linens and other miscellaneous items, even gift cards that we will turn over to Homes for the Brave to support our veterans here in Bridgeport who are in need," says Chief Roderick Porter.
Items can be dropped at police headquarters at 300 Congress Street.
