The Bridge Board at DGFUMC is a program partner with Bridge Communities, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Bridge Communities’ focus is to transform the lives of homeless DuPage County families by guiding them to a better future. This is accomplished by providing housing, mentoring, direction, hope, encouragement, and a stable environment where families can become self-sufficient and sustain their independence. The cost to support each family is around $12,000 - $14,000 annually, and each family is mentored for two years. The Garden Walk is the main fundraiser for these efforts, with 100% of the proceeds going to support the families.
If you cannot attend, you may also support this fundraiser through the website by clicking on “Give.” We appreciate your support and know you will enjoy the time spent outdoors in the lovely gardens. NOTE: The event is held on the scheduled date rain or shine.
