Bridges to Hope is primarily a Food Aid Centre but offers other programs to empower our clients.
Bridges to Hope is committed to reducing the effects of poverty on individuals and families access to essential food, and other programs that help empower our clients.
In 2023 we provided food aid assistance to over 13,000 people including children, single parents, and seniors.
Our clients come from to us from all over the Northeast Avalon. They are our neighbours, co-workers, and friends. Hunger is not always recognizable. That is why at Bridges to Hope, our motto is "Neighbours Feeding Neighbours."
Primarily, we are a Food Aid Centre focused on food security. Our hampers include a fresh homemade loaf of bread, prepared daily by volunteers in our community kitchen. Our hampers also include fresh fruit and vegetables, and a variety of foods to ensure our clients are properly nourished.
We also offer special programming twice a year:
Our annual "Bag to School" campaign provides backpacks filled with supplies to primary, elementary, junior high, and high school students. In August 2024, this program supported over 700 students.
Every year in December we distribute over 350 grocery gift cards to ensure our clients can enjoy the holidays without the worry of lack of food.
