Once again, the Bridgeport Rescue Mission is stepping up to feed families this Thanksgiving at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport.

It's called the Great Thanksgiving Project.

Last year, the Mission provided turkeys and fixings for nearly 5,000 families in need at the amphitheater.

This year, the focus remains on ensuring that vulnerable individuals, including seniors and those with disabilities, have access to a joyful Thanksgiving.

Food will be distributed today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and also tomorrow and Friday
