Donate to provide safe shelter to youth experiencing homelessness.
Annually, The Bridge provides housing for over 300 youth while providing holistic support and outreach services for an additional 6,650 youth experiencing homelessness. It’s your support that makes our mission possible.
Your support gives youth more than a home, it gives them hope. Make your gift
between November 1st and December 31st and it will be matched – helping twice as many young people find safety, stability, and a path forward.
“The uncertainty of each day was a challenge. Then I found Rita’s House at The Bridge for Youth, and I finally had a support system I knew I could count on. Because of the love and care I received, I found the resilience to graduate high school and pursue my dreams.”
Sam, A Former Youth in Supportive Housing at The Bridge
You can help in many ways:
In-Kind Donations
The Bridge strives to make youth feel comfortable, loved, and at home – whether they stay at The Bridge for a day, or a couple of weeks. We do that by providing all basic needs, and hopefully, a little bit more than just the basics.
The Bridge only accepts new items at this time; we do not accept used clothing, sheets, bedding, pillows or other items. This is because we have limited space for donations, and we strive to keep a clean, organized environment.
We can only accept items by appointment only. We are unable to accept unscheduled drop-off donations. We are open for drop-offs Mondays – Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and require at least 24-hours noitce. To schedule a donation delivery in advance, please email [email protected].
