Building Bridges aims to empower individuals by offering guidance, resources, and opportunities that promote personal growth, educational achievement, and community involvement. 

I am immensely grateful for the unwavering support provided by Building Bridges. When I was striving to obtain my certification as a pharmacy technician, life threw me into an unstable situation. The threat of homelessness became a reality for me and my family, and I  felt overwhelmed! That’s when Building Bridges stepped in. Their educational support and enrichment program for my children became  a beacon of hope. While I dedicated myself to my studies, they ensured that my kids received quality care, guidance, and educational opportunities. The program wasn’t just about academics; it was a nurturing space where my children blossomed. But Building Bridges didn’t stop there. When we faced housing instability, they went above and beyond.

They helped us locate a safe place to call home, rolled up their sleeves to fix and clean the house, and even furnish it with essentials. Their compassion and dedication transformed our lives. We were able to move back to Prince Georges County to be near our family. While physically distant, the bond with Building Bridges remains unbreakable. They continue to support my children virtually, bridging the gap left by our relocation. My children miss the program dearly but knowing that Building Bridges is still there for them brings comfort and reassurance. To Building Bridges, you are not just an organization, you are a lifeline. Thank you for being a guiding light during challenging times. Your impact resonates far beyond the services you provide- it reaches the heart of families like mine. (Cory's Story)
