There’s always something happening at Glen Mar.
Bridges Gift Card Drive 2022
The increasing cost of gas & groceries substantially impacts the ability of Bridges’ clients to pay for rent. Stretched budgets make it difficult for clients to get to work and feed their families. Please consider donating to our gift card drive this summer to help our clients reach their housing and financial goals! [Read More]
