A group of
Bridgeport volunteers will be giving out care bags Friday for people who are
homeless.
Argoldia Knight says she knows what it's like to
be without, and she wants to pay it forward by passing out toiletries, food and
clothing to people who need them.
It's all part of Diamond Glams First Fall Fest.
"I remember,
growing up, we were homeless at one point — and people gave back to us. So, I feel like it's important to give back now.
Everybody's been down, so I feel like it's time to rise up, Bridgeport, and
let's help," said Knight.
The group is
welcoming volunteers, as well as donations of non-perishable food, clothing and
toiletries for give-away bags.
The giveaway will be held Friday from 1 p.m.- 5
p.m. at Stratford Avenue and Kossuth Street.
Organizers say quantities are limited, so it's
first come, first serve.
