Why Bridge the Gap?
Every child deserves the chance to succeed. But for many students, the summer months and school breaks can mean falling behind in learning or missing access to essential resources like nutritious meals and educational support.
Bridge the Gap for Kids is a student-founded, community-driven nonprofit dedicated to ensuring every child has what they need to stay on track — from weekend and summer learning programs to basic supplies and meals that help families make ends meet.
Together, we can bridge the gap — one student at a time.
