Thank You to Our BFY CommUNITY

This holiday season, our BFY commUNITY showed up to support youth. Volunteers helped wrap presents and set up our holiday store, donors ensured each youth had holiday gifts to open, and our year end giving campaign highlighted how love and care changes everything.

We heard so many stories about what supporting The Bridge means to our donors. From honoring the memory of a loved one, to knowing what it’s like to be without a home, and more – every gift was meaningful.
