Bridge Family Center

Bridge Family Center EVERY FAMILY. EVERY CHILD. EVERY TIME. The Bridge was founded in 1969 to meet the needs of West Hartford community youth who were engaged in high-risk behavior.

Over the next few years, the Bridge expanded its outreach efforts, opened a shelter for runaway and homeless youth, and began to work directly with the schools. Today the Bridge is a comprehensive, regional nonprofit agency offering a broad range of services to children, youth, and families in the Greater Hartford area, with particular attention to serving those at risk. The mission of the Bridge

Family Center is to foster the courage and strength in children and families to meet life's challenges and build fulfilling lives.

We had a great time at Celebrate West Hartford this weekend!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to grab an Avery's Soda and learn more about the Bridge Family Center. We loved connecting with community members and sharing more about the work we do to support children, adults, and families.

Proceeds from our soda sales directly support the children and families we serve.
