Bridge Family Center

Bridge Family Center EVERY FAMILY. EVERY CHILD. EVERY TIME. The Bridge was founded in 1969 to meet the needs of West Hartford community youth who were engaged in high-risk behavior.

Over the next few years, the Bridge expanded its outreach efforts, opened a shelter for runaway and homeless youth, and began to work directly with the schools. Today the Bridge is a comprehensive, regional nonprofit agency offering a broad range of services to children, youth, and families in the Greater Hartford area, with particular attention to serving those at risk. The mission of the Bridge Family Center is to foster the courage and strength in children and families to meet life's challenges and build fulfilling lives.

Our Teen Leadership Committee planned and executed a bake sale outside of Lox, Stock & Bagels on Saturday 12/13. The teens then headed to Walmart to purchase gifts for our clients and their children in our Independent Living Programs, helping make the holidays a little brighter for the families we serve.

Seeing the teens shop and give back made the impact real—and the excitement on their faces says it all! 💙

We are so proud of these teens for supporting their community in such a meaningful way. 🌟👏
