Bridges Outreach, Inc

Bridges began in 1988 with just one suburban couple. Today, Bridges’ outreach includes over 1,500 kind and caring volunteers delivering over 100,000 bagged brown lunches, 40,000 breakfast bags, literally tons of clothing and toiletries and other necessities each year. Since 1988, Bridges has not missed a weekly Run into New York City. Recognizing the need closer to home, Bridges expanded its operations in 1996 to Newark and in 2002 to Irvington.

Purchase a limited edition lithograph by artist and Bridges volunteer, Helen Frank (www.helenfrank.com). While volunteering on Bridges’ Runs, Helen wanted to document the Bridges’ Run through art. She has created a beautiful lithograph, “Saturday Lunch” that depicts three of our homeless friends eating a Bridges’ lunch. The lithographs are on sale at Bridges for $150 (unframed). Thanks to Helen’s generosity, 100% of the proceeds go directly to Bridges to purchases necessities for the homeless people we meet.
