We need volunteers just like you to help at The Bridge.
Support The Bridge
Sue, a brave and resilient woman, was at our shelter after a harrowing ordeal. She had come from the hospital, where she was receiving care following two recent sexual assaults. The trauma had understandably taken a toll on her mental health.
Upon her arrival, we immediately assessed Sue’s condition and provided the support she needed to stabilize and feel safe. Our team worked diligently to create a comforting environment, ensuring she felt heard and cared for.
During this time, we discovered that Sue had a family member living in another state eager to offer her the love and support she needed. We made the necessary arrangements to reconnect Sue with her family through our advocacy services.
Partnering with Families to Freedom, we organized safe and reliable transportation for Sue. We also ensured she had all the essentials for her journey, providing a suitcase filled with clothing and other necessities.
Sue has embarked on the next chapter of her healing journey, traveling to live with her family in a secure and loving home. This marks a significant step towards her recovery, and we are honored to have been a part of her path to safety and hope.

Memorials/Honorariums/Wills and Bequests
Make a monetary contribution to help women and children in memory of a birthday, holiday, graduation, or to honor a loved one who has passed on. Leave a lasting legacy by sharing with your attorney and/or family your wishes to designate The Bridge as a beneficiary of your estate.
The Bridge for Kids
Your gift will help provide space for children and teens to heal from their trauma, grow their self-esteem and self-worth, give them hope, and build a brighter future. One without violence. Because every child should know that home is a place for love, not violence.
Each year, The Bridge serves approximately 325 children and youth in the emergency shelter and more than 100 children and youth in the long-term housing program. The Bridge for Kids will double the capacity of daily children the Bridge can serve and will be a crucial part of service delivery.
