What We Achieved

Throughout 2021, in the midst of a continued pandemic, Bridges to Hope was able to continue serving reentrants in person and through distributing care packages to those who could not be there in person. We pushed forward with Bud’s Thrift Shoppe, an ongoing fundraiser for Bridges to Hope, and generated an unexpected $85,572 in funds raised.
At Bridges To Hope, we empower the local community by providing the formerly incarcerated population of Nebraska with clothing and housing resources. This not only helps men and women stay out of jail or prison, it also helps provide the housing stability needed to find and stay employed, reinvigorating the community’s economy. How can you help?
