4th Annual Break the Chains - End Human Trafficking event in Orlando

Several Bridges Fellowship members volunteered their time on Saturday, January 28th at "Break the Chains" in Orlando, Florida. This event was sponsored by Florida Abolitionist and the Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking. The event featured speakers that highlighted the significant problem of human trafficking in our country, especially in Florida. Bridges members distributed hundreds of posters and other documents/brochures that help identify those caught in trafficking and what to do if you do see or suspect someone being trafficked. Posters and other information was obtained from Homeland Security and the national Polaris Project.

Bridges Blanket Blitz for the homeless - success!

Thanks to everyone who gave BLANKETS during our end-of-the-term Blanket Blitz. We were able to provide a huge box of new and used blankets to our local Salvation Army who said they were glad to get them and would distribute them to the homeless on our cold January/February nights. God bless you for giving!
