Through year-round programming, summer camps, mentoring, enrichment activities, and special events, bbhh invests in the next generation while building meaningful relationships with families. Annual outreach efforts such as back to school beach bash and christmas programming help ensure children and families are supported during key moments of the year with practical resources, encouragement, and care. Bbhhs social services and adult programming teams work alongside neighbors to address immediate needs while helping families move toward long-term stability. Social services help connect individuals and families to resources, support, referrals, and practical assistance, while adult programs create opportunities for growth through esl, ged preparation, pathways, life-skills development, and other educational opportunities. These programs are designed to meet people where they are, build trust, and provide tools that help adults strengthen their families and pursue a more stable future. This work is led by dedicated teams totaling 11 full-time staff members, including the director of social services, the director of youth and children, and the director of adult programming, along with their teams. Together, they serve children, youth, adults, and families through a holistic approach that combines compassion, relationships, education, discipleship, and practical support. Through these ministries, bbhh seeks not only to provide programs, but to walk with neighbors as they discover hope, build skills, and take meaningful next steps.
