What Community Bridges Homeless Services Does

We put together Blessing Bags  and keep them in our vehicle.
We give them out to people on the streets.
My sister and I drive around the city looking for homeless people. We give them blessing bags….. bottled water, protein snacks, fruit, gloves, hats, boots, coats, blankets/sleeping bags, personal hygiene items, we requested and received free sandwich coupons from McDonald’s that we give also. We are currently having a blessing bag drive that we’re looking for donations for. Any of the above items would be appreciated. You can check us out on Facebook, Community Bridges Homeless Services and/or our web page. Communitybridgeshomelessservices.com.
Our mission is to reach out to unsheltered, homeless people.
There are so many vacant buildings around and we’d like to be able to utilize them, there’s so much red tape to get anywhere with that. There’s also the issue of security, we won’t give up though. We will get a building, then we’ll be asking for volunteers to help us when they can. Sandy Coburn and I started this non-profit last month and we’ve helped several homeless people, it’s still not enough though. Many homeless people have been banned from the shelters, either from showing up there intoxicated or person had an altercation while at the shelter. That is why we see so many setting up tents in the streets near the shelters.

Example of what they  include:

In Drawstring bags we add:

Deodorant
lip balm
combs
razors
shaving cream
toothbrushes
toothpaste

For the Ladies blessing purses

The purses contained:

Hats
Gloves
Socks
Hand warmers
Mylar blankets
Perfume
Lotion
Sanitary items

If anyone has items that they’d like to donate we’d be happy to pick them up.
Please text us at 712-524-9208 with what type of donation you can give and we can make arrangements to pick up.
God bless you all.
