The head of a Bridgeport group fighting homelessness has thanked the public for making their annual fundraiser a big success.

Off the Streets Bridgeport held the event at the Discovery Science Center & Planetarium, where News 12 Connecticut's Frank Recchia was among the speakers.

The fundraiser featured a wine tasting and a raffle. Organizers say about 120 people turned out for the event.

The nonprofit provides security deposits to people who qualify for its services.
