PROGRAMS

Participants from Kaiser in our Volunteer Program

BRIDGES HAS SERVED CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES IN BREVARD COUNTY SINCE 1956.

Our programs include: Group Homes, Employment Services, Supported Living, Respite, Companion, Personal Care, Community Day Programs, Transportation, and a full-service Recycling Facility at Patrick Air Force Base. We serve approximately 400 individuals each day, many of whom have been with us for more than twenty years. Over the years we have established many durable partnerships with the business, philanthropic, and non-profit communities which have resulted in increased opportunities for our clients

Bridges is an original partner with United Way of Brevard and is a member of many community groups, including all four Chambers of Commerce. Bridges was recently honored as the 2010 and 2011 Non-Profit of the Year by Cocoa Beach Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Our ENRICH program does just that…enriches lives.
