Bridges Outreach is located in Summit, New Jersey. Since 1988, Bridges has reached out to the homeless in New York City, Newark and Irvington, NJ, providing 65,000 meals to more than 20,000 homeless people annually via our trademark yellow truck. More than 2,600 volunteers a year distribute food, clothing, seasonal necessities and, most importantly, care and compassion to "bring the housed and homeless together in community".
Bridges also operates Project Connect in Newark, in the epicenter of New Jersey's largest community. Case managers there work to provide homeless people with access to medical and mental health treatment, IDs, jobs and permanent housing.
