Term paper due in 2 weeks

The assignment for my term paper is to take a tour and conduct an interview with a social service organization. The Bridge @ Studeo 315 was my first thought. So I contacted my friend Aaron Dewinter the Director of Development and his wife Merri the Executive Director. I met with Aaron today and he was very helpful in providing the information I need to write my paper.

They are doing some great work there providing food, clothing, personal care items, and even housewares to low income families. All of the items are new or lightly used, that way the clients are receiving good things not just "garage sale stuff". The Bridge really wants to empower their clients, by providing them with nice clothes and new items for the home. They also provide life coaching and budget counseling.

Aaron told me around 2300 people came through the doors last month. They have been averaging 9 new clients a day. So they are in need of Monetary/Resources, Food, Personal Care Items and Volunteers.

So help out and donate your time and resources to a place that is really making a difference in peoples lives. And if you know of someone in need tell them about The Bridge!


"Introducing God's message of love, mercy, hope, and dignity through the provision of food, clothing, shelter and healthcare to those in need."
