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.

Bridge Point's 3rd Annual "Night of Sharing Hope" Event will be held on September 14th at Spring Valley Golf Course. It will be an evening of sharing stories of how Bridge Point has been able to Connect People with Hope throughout the year thanks to our generous sponsors, donors and volunteers. We will also share how we hope to grow and serve in even more ways in the future. We would nt be able to help others in all the ways that we do without the assistance of so many community members coming together and we can't wait for the opportunity to share an evening celebrating those that make it all happen!
