Bridge of Light Inc
Overview
Mission
Bridge of Light, provides critical support through various services, including free hot showers, laundry services, haircuts, and the distribution of underwear and clothing. The primary problem we are addressing is the lack of access to clean water and essential hygiene services for individuals experiencing homelessness. By offering these services, we not only help improve the physical well-being of our clients but also contribute to their dignity and self-worth during a challenging time in their lives. We aim to bridge the gap between the resources available and the needs of those who are unhoused, ensuring they can access the basic hygiene services that many take for granted. Those that we serve are currently turning to a variety of inadequate solutions to address their needs.
What it reported doing in 2025
Dignity Bus Project gave over 500 showers and over 7000 hygiene kits
