Bridges is "A Christian Ministry providing safe shelter and nurturing support for women and their children during an immediate time of need."
Bridges offers a warm and safe environment where families can find rest, peace, hope and a fresh start. Through staff and volunteers, we seek to equip expectant moms through one-on-one mentoring, life skills classes, and spiritual development. Bridges also connects moms to resources, including high school diplomacy, counseling, maternity homes. pregnancy centers and long-term housing options. All these services are made possible through community connections and dedicated staff. In 2019, we housed 27 minority women, ages 18-30, experiencing unplanned pregnancy and parenting 35 young children. We help to overcome barriers to stable housing by aiding with childcare, transportation, education, and debt reduction.
Families headed by single mothers are among the poorest households, more than a third live in poverty, and as such, are extremely vulnerable to homelessness. Our Community Resource Center & Diaper Pantry meets the immediate needs of single mother families, preventing a crisis that could lead to losing their home. We help offset the financial burden of essentials like diapers, wipes, food, baby furniture, baby clothing, maternity clothing, etc. In 2019 alone the Community Resource Center/Diaper Pantry improved the livelihoods and well-being of over 400 under resourced, minority families in the southern sector of Dallas. Bridges Community Resource Center/Diaper Pantry meets immediate needs in the communities of Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Desoto, Lancaster and South Oak Cliff. It is a safe place for parents to receive education and encouragement. This support system will prevent homelessness, violence, isolation and crime while helping parents to develop relationships with their children and community.
