BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING
CURRENT NEED: WINTER WEAR
As winter approaches, The Bridge Home is in need of warm gear donations to help keep our community safe and comfortable. We are seeking items such as coats, hats, gloves, and blankets to support individuals experiencing homelessness during the colder months. Your contributions can make a significant difference in their lives.
Our Mission
