We are hoping to expand. Read on to find out how you can help. We have applied for our use permit to expand from 6 residents to 12 residents. We are very excited about stepping through this process. However, all the support we can get is welcomed and appreciated. We have been given a list of fire regulations that we need to meet. We are in the process of doing that now. In addition to that we have a public hearing scheduled on Thursday, April 2nd at 300 Forest Ave in Pacific Grove at 6:00. We would love to have your prayers of support, letters of support, or if you would like have you there in person as public support. Please call the office at 372-2033 for more information or with questions. As you can see from the pictures we have to post a sign in our yard letting people know our intentions. In addition we also had to mail out 159 letters notifying our surrounding neighbors of our intention. Our hearts desire is to be able to expand, and to continue being good neighbors. Thank you for your prayers and support!

Chicken Again.....

At The Bridge you sometimes wonder what's for dinner. We've stated in the past how many meals are prepared and how many people are fed per week...we've also said that mostly, chicken or chicken by-products are the order of the day. So, not surprisingly, here is a post about 'Chicken'....another short video.

When men first come in to The Bridge they do not work outside jobs. The first 5-6 months are spent getting stable. That time is for them to learn new patterns, so when they do begin working again they will be more productive and reliable. Although they are not personally earning money in Phase I, they learn to get up everyday have morning devotions, leave the house and go work and then come home --- while sober. So when they do go back out and work they will have a new productive pattern of living. One of our guys, Louie just went through that process and now he is experiencing the fruit of a well earned paycheck. He is very glad to be able to finally start paying his own way and taking responsibility. Responsibility comes not only with sobriety but paying your obligations. Louie is on his way to doing that. We are so proud of him!!! Way to go Louie!!!
