Christmas Service Projects with Salvation Army

This holiday season, Bridges is supporting the Salvation Army in three ways as a church-wide service opportunity:

Donate gift cards – project complete!
We just finished collecting gift cards for local individuals in need, that will be distributed by Salvation Army. Thanks for participating!

Ring the red kettle bell
Sign up for a 2-hour shift to ring the Salvation Army red kettle bell in front of Andronico’s in the Rancho Shopping Center (690 Fremont Ave, Los Altos). In just one shift of bell ringing, you can raise enough money to feed a family of four in our local community for an entire week! To volunteer between now and Christmas Eve, visit the table in the Worship Center lobby on Sunday mornings.

Adopt-a-Family
Our Bridges Life Groups have each “adopted” a local family with limited financial resources and will be blessing them by providing Christmas gifts for the children in those families. If you’re not already involved with a Life Group, this is a great time of year to get involved. See our groups HERE.

Christmas Outreach with MUCH Hope

Partner with MUCH Hope to host a Christmas dinner party at the San Jose Family shelter on Fri., Dec. 20. From food and games to gifts and crafts, we’ll work together to create a special celebration.

Night to Shine 2025

In partnership with the Tim Tebow Foundation and several other local churches, Bridges is excited to host Night to Shine for another year! Mark your calendar on Fri., Feb. 7, 2025! This prom-style event is an unforgettable worldwide celebration, centered on God’s love, honoring and valuing people with special needs. To make this beautiful night happen, we need over 500 volunteers to fill many roles, including buddies for our honored guests, help supporting parents in the parent room, parking and safety teams, decorations, hair stylists, makeup artists, shoe shiners, set up, clean up, and more.
