Thank you to Enterprise Knowledge and Arlington Community Federal Credit Union for continuing to sponsor Bridges Lemonade program! This summer, things looked a little different as we launched our Lemonade with a Twist initiative. In July, we partnered with Good Company Doughnuts & Cafe to receive a portion of proceeds from lemon products sold. Throughout the summer, Bridges youth have been creating original pieces of art that will be sold at an art auction at the end of August, stay tuned for more details! ... See MoreSee Less

Introducing: #BuyANeighborSchoolSupplies! This year, we are collaborating with five other nonprofits providing direct services to the D.C. Metro area, AHC Affordable Housing, Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing, Bridges to Independence, Bonder & Amanda Johnson Community Development Corporation, Edu-Futuro (Educación Para Nuestro Futuro), to provide school supplies and resources to children and families in our programs for the 2020-2021 academic school year. Due to the pandemic, all of our organizations have decided not to host individual back-to-school drives like we typically have in the past in order to prioritize the community's safety. Instead, we will now be hosting a collaborative online fundraiser on the Volunteer Arlington website to collect donations that will help us provide gift cards to the children and families in our programs. This way, the families can safely purchase any needed school supplies and resources on their own for the upcoming school year. We cannot do this without your help! Please help us spread the word to your family and friends. We will have more information on the OAR website this week.
