Fairfield DPW Food Drive for Operation Hope, May 18-24




The Hot Chocolate Kid Helps Raise Money for Operation Hope, One Cup at a Time


Happy Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day offers a very special opportunity to honor those who open so many doors in our lives. Mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, daughters, fathers, sons, uncles, friends, neighbors and mentors all touch our lives in significant and lasting ways. When you shower your mom or the special person who plays that role in your life today, please think of the moms struggling in our community. We thank you for helping us provide the most basic of needs to the most vulnerable members of our community. In difficult and uncertain times, those in need, more than ever, depend on caring and compassionate people like you. Happy Mother’s Day! 💐
May 10 Town-Wide Food Drive – Donate At Your Mailbox!
Help us stamp out hunger for families here in Fairfield! The annual town-wide Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is TOMORROW, Saturday, May 10. Rain or shine!
Use the yellow bag you should have received in the mail this week (or any bag) and place by your mailbox for your mail carrier to pick up. Suggested donations we seek for the Pantry: ground coffee, peanut butter, jelly, condiments, baking mixes, canned fruit, oil, cereal, oatmeal, crackers, cookies, cleaning products, paper towels, tissues, toilet paper.
Many thanks to our donors, the Fairfield & Southport mail carriers and postal staff, and the bag sponsors: D.P. Dough Fairfield, Bagel King, Sophie’s Pizza Bar, Malibu Taco, The Sinclair, Pizza Mediterranean, Fairfield Motoworks and Trumbull BMX
p.s. the mail carriers and postal staff from NALC Branch 2313 (Fairfield & Southport) who choose to support this drive volunteer their time and efforts for the drive. We are grateful to them and the volunteers from a variety of orgs who help transport and sort on the day of the drive!

DP Dough Give Back Day for Operation Hope, May 7
When I say DP, you say dough! We are so excited to announce that our friends at DP Dough Fairfield are sponsoring a Give Back Day at DP Dough, 222 Post Road, Fairfield on Wednesday, May 7 to support the Fairfield & Southport Postal Worker town-wide food drive for Operation Hope on May 10
When you place your order on May 7, simply say “post office” and 10% of sales will be donated to Operation Hope
DP Dough is also one of the generous sponsors of the “yellow bags”
which you will be seeing next week in your mailbox and used for pantry donations on May 10. Thank you Fairfield & Southport postal workers and DP Dough for helping our neighbors in need!
Diaper Drive Through May 5 at Fairfield Y
Swing by the Fairfield Y through Monday, May 5, 12pm for a diaper drive to help our littlest neighbors in need. Diapers in particular are an expensive but essential need for babies, and yet they are not covered by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. At Operation Hope, we understand the cost of diapers can be prohibitive for many of our clients. We are always grateful for donations of diapers so we can offer them in the Pantry; it’s a small step in an effort to support families in need. All sizes and open packs are welcome. Thank you!
Make a difference this Earth Day! 🌱
