Help Us Rebuild The Bridge

A burst pipe flooded our Springfield Club from the top down. Right now, our kids can’t go back inside.

The damage happened in a day. The repairs won’t.

A Second Home Since 1983

Every afternoon, nearly 100 kids walk through these doors

Kids in kindergarten through fifth grade come to The Bridge Boys & Girls Club in Springfield every afternoon. It’s where they get homework help, a hot meal and a caring adult who knows their name.

Since 1983, The Bridge has been a second home for Springfield kids. Generations of kids have grown up in that building, and many have gone on to graduate, build careers and give back to this community.

What Happened

Water came through the ceilings

A burst pipe flooded the entire building. It ruined floors, walls, furniture, computers and school supplies. The damage is severe, and rebuilding The Bridge will take months.
