Bridge of Hearts, founded in 2019, started with a mission to engage the greater Lake Norman community to celebrate and care for the youngest and most vulnerable citizens, children.
Bridge of Hearts became a nonprofit in 2023 and has been dedicated to supporting impoverished and homeless students from pre-k to high school seniors through three programs.
Celebration Children Program: This program aims to make children celebrating a birthday feel extra special with a handwritten note, gifts, books and a family celebration kit. The celebration kits contain everything needed to have a family birthday bash with cake mix, frosting, pan, candles, party plates and napkins. To date, they have helped over 3,350 children celebrate their birthdays and given out over 6,710 books.
Caring for Kids Program: This program works hand in hand with school guidance counselors to ensure that children in need have the necessary personal health and hygiene supplies as well as bags of healthy snacks. Under this program, children in need can receive a Go Bag, a bag full of everyday living essentials such as a sleeping bag, pillow, pillowcase, blanket, and socks in addition to the hygiene items and healthy snack bags. To date, 212 emergency supplies and over 25,930 bags of healthy snacks and hygiene bags have been distributed.
Caring for Babies: This program distributes essential nursery items to middle and high school mothers for their babies. To date, they have helped 11 school-aged mothers.
