Giving

The Bridge is a true, missional outreach community. We are committed to giving (money, time, and energy) to our community through our relationships and connections, finding individuals, families and organizations in need. If you’d like to join us in this mission, there is an orange box on the welcome table. Please contact us for more information.

This is our “Virtual” orange box. If you would like to support our community online, please click the link below to give:

Why give?
Of course, you don’t have to give anything, but it is absolutely vital in the life of a follower of Jesus to grow a spirit of generosity. The things with which we have been blessed are truly gifts, never really ours, only in our possession for a short while. The paradox of generosity is that the gift multiplies as it is given away. While you do not have to give to the Bridge, the idea is that you are moved to find certain passion areas (things you care about) where you will want to direct your generosity. It is here that we suggest other Giving Opportunities, their mission statements, and ways to donate and volunteer.

Light of Christ, https://lightofchristministr.wixsite.com/mysite-1

“We are committed to “walking” alongside the residents of Keystone Correctional and those men who are transitioning into the Central Pennsylvania area from Keystone. We do this by sharing food, clothing, books, hygiene items and other items donated to us by individuals, churches, agencies and businesses. We also share information about community resources that support reentrants. We walk beside one another and the residents, on the Jesus walk, as Jesus lights the path. We do this by meeting in community, with the residents, for prayer, worship, service and social events. We seek, together, the Light of Christ and the grace that He offers us.”
