About The Bridge Ministries
The Bridge Ministries is excited for you to join us on our first year of CNOY!
Every dollar you fundraise on our behalf will serve those in our community with hurts, habits, and hang-ups. We walk for those that have lost homes, relationships, and family because We believe that hope and healing is for everyone.
The Bridge provides our community with job-skills training, support groups and faith-based recovery programs. Programs include Celebrate Recovery, Family Celebrate Recovery, Jobs for Life, Heart of Addiction, DivorceCare and more. We walk alongside people as they navigate mental health struggles, addiction, and difficult relationships. The Bridge provides hope by rebuilding lives, restoring families, and revitalizing our community.
Your participation in the Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser will help us to continue serving those with hurts, habits, and hang-ups and address long-term brokenness in our community.
