New Covenant Center 2024 Harvest Table
Robert shares his journey of loss, resilience, and ...perseverance. After caring for his mother through her battle with dementia, he became homeless when he couldn't stay in her apartment after her passing. For nearly a year, Robert lived in his car, seeking meals at New Covenant Center. Thanks to Yvette and the Center’s resources, he found shelter and eventually secured his own one-bedroom apartment, marking a new chapter in his life.
Kimberly, a lifelong Stamford resident, faced unimaginable hardships after the loss of her mother, a separation from her spouse, and the struggle of raising her young children alone. New Covenant Center has been her anchor, providing food, counseling, and emotional support. Despite her fears, Kimberly is determined to move forward for the sake of her children, who still see the world with innocence and joy.
Their stories are powerful reminders of the strength of community and the impact of compassion.

Rescuing food to combat hunger in Fairfield County
Six hundred pounds of food. Thirty boxes of produce. Dozens of bagels and containers of yogurt. Such surplus quantities of fresh and non-perishable goods could go uneaten and unused in Fairfield County, squandering resources and creating unnecessary waste. Instead, Catholic Charities programs such as the Thomas Merton Center in Bridgeport and New Covenant Center in Stamford are benefitting due to a variety of rescue efforts.
