The need is real:

We are all called to care for those in need, but the truth is, not everyone listens. For many students in our region, basic essentials like deodorant, face wash, or even a clean pair of socks are luxuries they quietly go without. These "small" things make a massive difference in how a teenager feels when interacting with peers or standing in a classroom.

The Teen Closet:

To meet this need, we have established the Teen Closet. This dedicated space is available any time the Center is open. It features a sink and mirror for immediate grooming, but the primary mission is home-provision. We empower students to take the products they need home with them so they are equipped and confident every single day. 

Our Mission

Our hearts are guided by Isaiah 6:8: “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!” By answering the call to serve, we remove the barriers of shame and create a bridge to share the Gospel, fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). 

Will You Answer the Call? 

Bridges Center is 100% free and runs on the generosity of our community. When you give, you aren’t just sending supplies; you are ensuring a local teen feels seen, valued, and cared for.
