Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for Pints for a Purpose at Jack Pine Brewery! What a fun evening filled with live music from Third Wheel, delicious pizza from Rosallini’s, refreshing pints, and time spent celebrating alongside the incredible community that continues to support our mission at Bridges of Hope.

Thanks to our generous business partner matching every donation made last night, we’re one step closer to reaching our $100,000 goal for Operation Sandwich. Every pint enjoyed, donation made, and conversation shared helps ensure local families have access to meals this summer.

We truly could not do this without you. Thank you for making it possible!

Our team at Bridges of Hope is working closely alongside Crow Wing County's Public Health and Emergency Preparedness teams to ensure that support for individuals and families impacted by the Flanders Fire is being offered. We are thankful for the generosity of those who have already given to support our community during this difficult time.

The funds that have been donated will be directed towards households needing basic essential support. Please note that funds raised are designated for immediate basic needs assistance and not for property damage, home repairs, or insurance-related losses.

Thank you for helping us care for our community together.

There is something special about having our teams from Common Goods, The Bridge on 7th, our Bridges of Hope office, and members of our Board of Directors all together in one room. Last night, we had the opportunity to learn and grow together alongside Erik Therwanger, founder of Think GREAT.

With more than 30 years of leadership experience, Erik challenged and encouraged our team through conversations around leadership at every level. Today, we continue that learning as we focus on providing exemplary service across all of the programs and communities we serve. We are grateful for the opportunity to invest in our team so we can continue showing up well for our neighbors, supporters, volunteers, and one another.
