A Bridgeport woman, who is originally from Haiti, is collecting clothes and non-perishable food to send to hurricane victims in her homeland.

April Barron, head of a non-profit transitional housing facility for men and women, is donating food and clothing to a woman from Haiti, Naomi Trofort, who says her friends and family there have been devastated by the hurricane.

Barron is filling bags with critically needed supplies.

The transitional housing facility is located on Bunnell Street.
