A huge thank you to the students and families of Westminster Preschool for their thoughtful donation of dish soap for our Supply Closets! ???? Each month, these little learners, housed at our program partner First Presbyterian Church of Glen Ellyn, participate in Children’s Church, where they hear a Bible story and bring an offering to support local organizations like Bridge Communities. We are so grateful for their kindness and generosity—proof that every act of giving can make a big difference! #BridgeCommunities #GlenEllyn #Thankful

This Giving Tuesday, help families like Amber’s find safety and stability. After leaving a toxic relationship, Amber and her three children found a safe home and brighter future through Bridge Communities. But, if they are going to get the resources they need to forever break the cycle of homelessness, we will need your support. Our goal is to raise $50,000, funding two years of housing for families like Amber’s as they work to break the cycle of homelessness. Every donation is MATCHED, doubling your impact. Donate today and help us create a community where everyone has a safe place to call home: https://lnkd.in/g48AETEP #GivingTuesday #BridgeCommunities #BreakTheCycle #MatchedGiving #EndHomelessness #dupagecounty

#FeelGoodFriday ?? We're celebrating the incredible journey of one of our Bridge graduates! After completing the Bridge Program, she began renting a 4-bedroom house, a significant step forward for her family. Her daughter recently started 3rd grade and continues to be her biggest source of inspiration and love. To celebrate, they even shared a magical first trip to Disney World! ?? In addition, she's returned to college to pursue an undergraduate degree in cybersecurity, embracing this new chapter with confidence and determination. We’re so proud of her resilience and are honored to be part of her journey! #BridgeCommunities #SuccessStory #Empowerment
