The Power of Community!
Dear Bridge to Home Friends,
As we approach the end of another year, I find myself reflecting on one of the greatest strengths of Bridge to Home: the incredible community that stands beside us.
Every day, we witness the difference that compassion, generosity, and a willingness to serve can make in the lives of individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
This month, we have so much to celebrate.
Our 3rd Annual Turkey Trot brought our community together in an extraordinary way, raising $65,300 and surpassing our fundraising goal by $15,300! This accomplishment is a testament to what we can achieve when we unite around a shared purpose.
To our donors, volunteers, community partners, and advocates, thank you! Your support allows us to continue providing essential services and helping our neighbors take meaningful steps toward stability and permanent housing.
As we look toward the year ahead, I am filled with gratitude for what we have accomplished together and optimism for what is still possible.
Because of you, hope continues to grow, and lives continue to change.

Making a Difference, One Hour at a Time
Meet Kathy Christianson
At Bridge to Home, volunteers give so much more than their time. They bring compassion, connection, and hope to individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
This month, we're delighted to spotlight Kathy Christianson, a dedicated volunteer who is making a difference in more ways than one.
For nearly two years, Kathy has helped serve meals, supported our Feed It Forward program, and built meaningful relationships with the people we serve. And thanks to her employer, PennyMac, Kathy's generosity goes even further—every hour she volunteers generates a $25 donation to Bridge to Home!
Discover how Kathy is turning her time into lasting impact and how your volunteer hours might do the same.
A Community That Goes The Extra Mile!
What An Incredible Day For Our 3rd Annual Turkey Trot!
On November 7, our community came together at The Paseo Club for a morning filled with energy, generosity, and a shared commitment to making a difference for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
Thanks to our amazing participants, donors, sponsors, and volunteers, we raised an incredible $65,300, surpassing our original $50,000 fundraising goal by $15,300! This achievement is a reflection of the compassion and dedication of a community that continues to show up for Bridge to Home.

To everyone who participated, donated, fundraised, or cheered us on, thank you for making this year's Turkey Trot such a success!
Making A Difference,
One Volunteer at a Time.
On October 24, Bridge to Home was proud to participate in the City of Santa Clarita's Make a Difference Day, a nationwide celebration of community service that brings people together to create positive change.
As part of this community-wide initiative, volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help beautify our shelter and clean the surrounding streets. Their hard work helped maintain a clean, welcoming, and well-cared-for environment for the individuals and families we serve.
The spirit of giving didn't stop there! A mother and daughter who participated in Make a Difference Day returned to volunteer at our 3rd Annual Turkey Trot, demonstrating how a single day of service can inspire continued involvement.
We are grateful to the City of Santa Clarita and every volunteer who chose to make a difference. Your kindness, dedication, and willingness to give back help us build a stronger, more compassionate community.
