For almost three decades, we have sought the welfare of the Bonton+Ideal neighborhood. Much has changed about our work in that time, but the heart is still the same as when Mike & Velma said that first “yes.”
As bridge-builders, we restore hope and transform communities.
For 30 years, BridgeBuilders has desired to stand beside the local church in Bonton. Now we are building alongside Bonton Bible Church as they pursue the youth with Biblical teaching and encourage servant-hearted volunteering!
For 30 years, BridgeBuilders has created ministry through food, modeled by Jesus feeding his followers. Now food has become a critical part of how we gather with our seniors, bringing them recipes to nourish and fellowship to enrich their lives!
For 30 years, BridgeBuilders has responded to our neighbors’ wants and needs for their community. Now we host several programs directly in their neighborhood to bring healthy food, optical health improvement, parenting support, and assistance earning driver’s licenses.
