    Description

    Summer Bag of Fun!  Help Summer be Fun for a homeless child

    Bring Joy to a Bridge Family This Summer

    This summer, you can help create moments a child will never forget.

    Sponsor a Summer Fun Bag for a mother and her children at The Bridge to Hope — a Christian housing ministry serving homeless single mothers rebuilding their lives with hope, stability, and the love of Christ.

    Each bag becomes more than “stuff.”

    It becomes:

    • a child feeling seen,
    • a mom feeling supported,
    • and a reminder that God still provides joy in hard seasons.

    Fill a Summer Fun Bag with things like:

    • Swim bag
    • Swimsuits
    • Flip flops
    • Towels
    • Sunblock
    • Floaties for little ones
    • Summer hats
    • Outdoor toys
    • Crafts and fun activities

    We will provide the names, ages, and sizes of our Bridge Kids and moms so you can make your gift personal and meaningful.

    Whether it’s a beach towel with their favorite color or bubbles for a toddler who has been through too much too young, these small acts of love matter deeply.

    “Every good and perfect gift is from above…” — James 1:17

    Build your Summer Fun Bag and deliver it to The Bridge to Hope this summer. Help us fill this season with laughter, memories, and the reminder that Jesus cares about joy too.

    To learn more, visit The Bridge to Hope Website or follow us on Facebook.

    Call us for our Bridge Kids’ names, ages, and sizes — and get ready to make summer unforgettable.

    Your Summer Fun Bag is an opportunity to bless a homeless single mother and her children with joy, dignity, and practical fun during the summer season.

    Here’s How to Participate

    1. Call or Message The Bridge to Hope (602-589-5556)

    We will provide:

    • Children’s names and ages
    • Clothing and shoe sizes
    • Mom’s sizes
    • Family details so you can personalize your bag
    1. Fill a Summer Fun Bag

    You can use a tote bag, beach bag, backpack, or reusable storage bag.

    Suggested items:

    • Swimsuits
    • Flip flops or sandals
    • Beach towels
    • Sunblock
    • Summer hats or sunglasses
    • Floaties or water toys
    • Sidewalk chalk, bubbles, balls, jump ropes, etc.

    1. Keep It Family Friendly

    • Choose modest swimwear
    • Avoid items with inappropriate wording or themes
    • Select age-appropriate toys and activities
    • Use new items only
    1. Pray Over the Family

    Before delivering your bag, take a moment to pray for the mother and children receiving it. Ask God to bring healing, laughter, peace, and hope to their summer.

    1. Deliver Your Bag either by dropping it off at The Bridge to Hope office during business hours or mail it to our office.

    Coordinate delivery with The Bridge to Hope during the summer collection period.

    Most Important

    This is not just a donation project.

    It is a chance to remind a family:

    • they are seen,
    • they are valued,
    • and they are deeply loved by Christ.

    Sometimes a towel, bubbles, and a popsicle bucket become holy ground. Kids remember joy longer than we think. 🌞
