Our Joint Monthly Mission for the month of August is Bridges Outreach

Bridges Outreach seeks to make an impact on the lives of homeless folks living in Newark, Irvington, Summit, and NYC. Their mission is “Bridges ends homelessness through volunteer-driven outreach and individual case management focusing on health, housing and independence. We form relationships with those experiencing homelessness while meeting their most urgent needs.” They have provided  lunches, socks and underwear, toiletries, soup, and clothing to over 21,000 homeless folks. In addition, they also provide case management services at their Project Connect office in Newark, see folks in Summit every Friday for their Neighbors in Need program, and for more than 1,000 children eligible for free and reduced lunch in Summit and sheltered children in Newark and Irvington, they provide new backpacks and school supplies.  Please make a donation in August and mark your envelop or check memo with Bridges Outreach or BO.
