Church Under the Bridge
Prior to Nashville's March tornadoes and the COVID pandemic, every Tuesday Night under the Jefferson Street Bridge we served 300 – 500 of our homeless and under-resourced friends.  Everyone received a delicious hot meal and participated in a powerful worship service.  At the close of service we distributed 15,000 – 25,000 pounds of food, clothing and toiletries to our friends.  Currently, we are adhering to CDC guidelines as well as following closely our mayor's pandemic response mandates and finding adaptive ways to strategically serve this vulnerable population.  We have not missed a Tuesday night with our friends and are still serving hundreds each week with a hot meal, food bags, water, toiletries, sleeping bags and tents.  As soon as it is safe, we will return to including a worship service with our Tuesday night experience.

Bridge to Kids
Previous to Nashville's March tornadoes and the COVID pandemic, the Bridge To Kids Program was growing very quickly.  Not only did we have a special Bridge To Kids Service under the bridge every Tuesday evening, we also served thousands of students each week with weekend food bags.  These are students who suffer significant food insecurity issues and struggle to have food to eat when not receiving free breakfast and lunch at school.  Our teams have been innovative during this unprecedented season.  We are continuing to serve thousands of students each week through Metro School distribution centers, aftercare programs, and have recently added new distribution sites to our weekly deliveries.  

Bridge to You
Following Nashville’s March tornado and the onset of the COVID pandemic our Bridge To You area of ministry evolved to direct service to hundreds of families and individuals and is currently serving at multiple distribution sites throughout the greater Nashville area. 

Bridge to Community
​
Bridge To Community works with other like-minded partners and organizations to help serve those in need by sharing resources when organizations experience resource gaps to complete their mission.  We truly do believe we are better together.
