Bridges to Independence

Join us on July 14th to celebrate two significant supporters of Bridges!

Our very own Youth Development Manager, Alex Gavin, will be recognized for the Volunteer Arlington Award. Alex is receiving this role because she continuously goes outside her role as a Youth Development Manager to cultivate engagement with volunteers. Her cultivation is responsible for expanding Bridge’s volunteer reach and has created many faithful returning volunteers!

The Parrish Family will receive the Erik Gutshall Family Service Award. Their whole family has been engaged in supporting Bridges, even their two young daughters Lucy and Hannah! This year for her birthday, Lucy requested that her friends donate items to Bridges in lieu of receiving birthday presents, and while Hannah was carpooling with her friends, she would collect spare change to donate to Bridges. We are thankful to have the Parrish family’s support of Bridges!

Thank you to everyone that made the Bunny Hop a success! The money raised helped house four families in June and will start the process to home four more families in July! In addition to providing families with security deposits, application fees, and rent, your support provides add-on services to help families remain in housing, such as case management, workforce development, financial empowerment, youth development, and basic needs like furniture, personal supplies, and food.

Thank you, community, for your support of Bridges families. Because of you, two families are moving out of the shelter today and into housing! Your donations help families move from Arlington County’s largest emergency family shelter into stable and safe housing, providing them with basic supplies.
