We are dedicated to serving the homeless where they live – on the streets, under bridges and in camps. Our main purpose is to provide food and clothing to those in need with an awareness of the heart. We are a direct service organization of volunteers who believe in the dignity of the individual and strive to enhance the lives of those we serve as well as those who serve. Overall, we serve close to 1,000 homeless each month. Under The Bridges was started by a group of people wanting to help the homeless, who are unable to utilize or access the shelters and soup kitchens. Our bagged lunches consist of a meat and cheese sandwich on a soft bun, fresh fruit, cookies and a bottle of water. We personalize our service whenever possible, whether providing meatless sandwiches for vegetarians, turkey sandwiches for Muslims or sugar free treats for diabetics. When available, we also distribute clothes, shoes, blankets, socks and toiletries.
