Your help is needed now more than ever. With your help, Bridge Communities will transition over 100 families to self-sufficiency by working with community partners to provide mentoring, housing, and supportive services.

A personal message from Margo Matthew

Sleep Out Saturday 2022 is here, and I will sleep outside in my car beginning Saturday, November 5th for as many nights as it takes until I raise $5,000.

Over the past 26 years, I have witnessed hundreds of families impacted by Bridge’s mission. The organization transitions families experiencing homelessness to self-sufficiency by working with community partners to provide volunteer mentoring, safe, stable housing, and holistic supportive services.

That's why I Sleep Out-to raise funds and awareness to ensure that Bridge Communities can continue to provide hope and homes to over 100 families annually.

By joining me in this effort with a donation, you will help provide safe, warm apartments that the families call home as they journey to a brighter future. Bridge provides opportunities for better paying jobs, increased savings, children’s services, employment and nutritional counseling, and donated automobiles to get to school and work.

Please take a few minutes to watch our 2022 Sleep Out Saturday video to learn more about how your support today can make a meaningful impact.
