Dear Families:
We are grateful and excited that neighborhood bridges Grandview Heights is part of our community!
As a 501(c)(3) charity, neighborhood bridges’ mission is: To bridge communities with schools in providing basic needs, removing barriers, and seeking equity for students so they can engage and succeed in school and life.
Neighborhood bridges Grandview Heights works by inviting our counselors and social workers to become advocates. They receive access to the neighborhood bridges’ platform to post needs on behalf of students and families (who remain anonymous). Needs encompass a wide range of essentials, including school supplies, coats and clothing, help with school or athletic fees, household needs such as beds or groceries, and much more.
Once an advocate posts a need, it is circulated among subscribers (or donors) in the community via a daily email and social media posts. A subscriber wishing to fill a need simply clicks “I can help.” They are then provided with drop-off instructions for the advocate to pick-up the donation and deliver it to the recipient.
