Baycross Chrisitan Family Foundation awarded a grant to Bridge a Life for its local outreach initiatives that support foster and adoptive families. Bridge a Life is determined to raise up, equip and encourage Christ followers to rescue and care for children who have been abused, abandoned, orphaned, or neglected so that they are loved in fully-equipped families, bringing about healing and generational change. Bridge a Life currently has outreach teams that deliver meals, update and prepare homes for foster and adoptive families, and provide respite opportunities for foster and adoptive parents to support the families that are on the front lines of caring for God’s children.
