Sen. Richard Blumenthal is urging the public to support the Bridgeport Rescue Mission.

He says "no charity anywhere in the country has done more to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless than the Bridgeport Rescue Mission."

Mark Schachter, the owner of Investigative Consultants, made a contribution to the nonprofit Saturday morning, saying he was impressed by the work the mission has done during the crisis.

"I've always wanted to give back to the community and this is something that we're able to do. We're fortunate enough to be able to do that and it's to a very, very worthy cause," says Schacter.
