“Our church’s leadership team wanted to help a single mother… We were searching for a way to help and Bridge of Hope was there to lead us and teach us how.” -- Pastor

“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Bridge of Hope and my mentors. They helped me get through so much. I also give myself a big pat on the back, I accomplished a lot!” -- Bridge of Hope mother

Plan To Join Us!

Bridge of Hope is a partner for those who want to faithfully exemplify Christ's love to single mothers and children who are homeless or facing eviction.

Bridge of Hope :

		Focuses on holistic, long-term solutions to poverty and homelessness
		Trains and supports church-based mentoring groups in a joyful ministry of friendship with homeless families
		Provides rental assistance and professional case-management services to single mothers seeking long-term stability through job training, employment and budgeting.

Bridge of Hope is not a “quick fix,” but an effective way to end and prevent poverty and homelessness. Over 75% of the women served in Lancaster and Chester Counties successfully graduate with permanent housing, a circle of friends and a plan for long-term financial self-sufficiency.
