BRIDGEPORT — Summer can be a difficult time for food pantries. Donations slow down, and it can be hard to meet the needs of all the people who need help. Thus, representatives of several local pantries say they are grateful for the windfall they receive in the fall from the House of Hope donation center at St. Vincent’s Medical Center, 2800 Main St. The house — which officially opened for the season on Wednesday — is a decorated shed adjacent to the hospital where people can drop off non-perishable food donations or financial contributions, which go to five local food programs. It’s a crucial service for these programs, said Donna Romano, director of marketing for the Bridgeport Rescue Mission.
