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. Our Hope Card Program is open to families that live in the communities that we currently serve - Canton South, Sandy Valley and East Canton. You must apply and meet with us prior to receiving resources.

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 current Hope Card holder.

Bridge Point's HOPEfully Yours Thrift Store is a fair donation thrift store open to the public. We have new and gently used clothing, shoes, household goods and decor, crafts, seasonal items and more! All items have been generously donated to us and we ask that you make a fair donation for the items you select with few items priced in our store. Our mission is to provide an atmosphere where all are welcome to shop at deeply discounted prices while helping Bridge Point provide needed resources to local families. All donations from our thrift store go back to the programs and services we offer.  

Hours of operation:

Wednesdays 1 pm - 7 pm
Thursdays 10 am - 4 pm
Fridays 10 am - 2 pm
Saturdays 10 am - 2 pm

Our thrift store staff is made up of all volunteers who have a heart to serve others. They are the first faces one sees entering Bridge Point and often build lasting relationships with customers that extends beyond just customer service. We are always looking to add volunteers to the Bridge Point family. If you are interested in helping to make a difference, use the form below to send us your information!
