Give a Tuesday on #GivingTuesday

This year on #GivingTuesday--which lands on Tuesday, November 27--we ask Bridge supporters to please help an incoming Bridge family. Just $35 provides one night of safe housing for a family in dire need. And it will mean one full year of safe housing for a homeless family if, together, we can raise the needed $12,775.
