Miracle On Cookstown Road
Every December, we see so many stories at our doors on Cookstown Road. A mother coming in with her children, relieved to know she can now make Christmas happen for them. A senior telling us they’ll finally be able to share a proper Christmas dinner with their loved ones. A young couple out on their own, cooking their very first turkey.
For too many of our neighbours, the joy of the holidays is overshadowed by the burden of hunger.
By donating to Bridges to Hope, you give over 1,500 people in the St. John’s region the gift of hope this holiday season and beyond.
