Hope Card Program
Bridge Point strives to help families of all shapes and sizes meet their everyday needs. Our goal is to help you "stretch" your income and budget by providing needed resources, at no cost, that free up your income for other family needs.

As a Hope Card holder, you and your family have access to receive monthly personal care resources (shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, etc), household products (laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) and other special resources. In order to take advantage of our other programs such as Souls 2 Soles, Keeping Kids Warm and Christmas Mart, you must be a Hope Card holder.

To apply, please click the link below and we will contact you once we review your application.
