Bridging the Gap for Kids is a local non-profit organization committed to reducing food insecurity and supporting children in our community.
Every Friday throughout the school year, we provide nutritious weekend food bags to identified students from Pre-Primary to Grade 5 at Greenfield Elementary, helping ensure they have access to food when school is not in session. During holidays and extended school breaks, we expand our support with enhanced food hampers to help families when they need it most.
Made possible by dedicated volunteers and the generosity of our community, 100% of funds raised directly support local children and families.
