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.

This year, our original goal was to support 400 students, but we received nearly 900 applications. We can't meet this overwhelming need without your support.

Your donation of backpacks, pencils, notebooks, and other school essentials will go directly to children in need in the St. John’s-Metro region.

Let’s come together to fill backpacks and feed futures!
