We provide food, gently used clothing, and case management services to individuals and families facing a temporary financial crisis.
The Bridge is open for clients and to receive donations on most Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Client meetings are by appointment only.
FOOD PANTRY
Our food pantry is stocked with a variety of healthy food choices: canned vegetables, whole wheat pasta, natural peanut butter, whole grain cereal, meats, and whenever possible, fresh fruits and vegetables.
CLOTHING ROOM
Clients can select from gently used clothing for children, men, and women.
CASE MANAGEMENT
Our Community Resource Coaches are trained volunteers who provide support and guidance for our clients as they take steps toward reaching their personal goals and achieving significant life changes.
PRAYER!
After a client shops in the pantry and clothing room, each client is offered the opportunity to pray together with the volunteers.
Time spent together in our Prayer Room is a unique opportunity to thank God for all that He has provided and for all that he is doing in the lives of our clients.
