Feeding our neighbours for more than 35 years

Bridges to Hope is a food aid centre located in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Our mission is to provide dignified and accessible assistance to those experiencing food insecurity.

We are thrilled to share that thanks to the support of our community, our Bag to School program was able to provide essential school supplies to each and every family that applied this year. Together, we supported 900 local students!

This was only possible because of the incredible generosity of our community.

We are deeply grateful for your commitment to making a lasting impact in the lives of local families.

THANK YOU for filling backpacks and feeding futures with us!
