Since the beginning, The Bridge House has received generous support to achieve its mission. In 2002 TBH became independent from CAP and gained its 501c3 status as a tax exempt nonprofit corporation. The board of TBH, with the Town of Plymouth, applied for and received a Grafton County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of $700,000 to build a new facility on the grounds of the Whole Village Family Resource Center (WVFRC) on Highland Street. The total projected cost of the project was less than $1,000,000. It was this low in part because WVFRC donated the land, valued at $80,000, on which the building was to be constructed. In addition to the CDBG investment, the project used $95,000 of our own in funds which were raised through a $50,000 matching grant from the Dailey Family Trust.
Construction of our new shelter was completed in the spring of 2005. The TBH staff moved in on the 15th of May and dedicated the facility in July of that year.
Going forward The Bridge House is supported through generous contributions from its Partners (see partner logos on our homepage, local businesses and organizations and through fundraising Events.
TBH needs to raise $70,000 annually to continue its mission.
Contributions to support The Bridge House mission come from many segments of our community. From socks donated by the local Walmart to beautiful quilts made by the ladies of the Congegational Church to toiletries donated by a PSU sorority the shelter is the fortunate recipient of useful gifts from residents / businesses from the Plymouth area.
Many businesses, churches and community organizations give their time, energy and resources to help continue the good work and shelter the Bridge House provides.(Please express your thanks to many of our supporters shown in the left side bar of this page)
