How you help	At Bridges of Hope, we rely on the generous volunteers that keep every day running smoothly. From meals, to hosts, to special project teams, our community volunteers are so valuable to us.

About us	Our goal is to transform lives by proclaiming Christ, bridging service gaps, creating networks, and building community through a relational approach. We envision a place where ministries, community agencies, non-profits and churches can come together to serve those in need. Bridges of Hope will address the needs of such persons by providing access to life-building and life-sustaining services, either through direct benevolence or in collaboration with private agencies, ministerial entities, and/or government agencies.
