ABOUT

WHO WE ARE
&
WHAT WE DO

With the help of about 40 volunteers, the Bridge is a thrift store & food pantry, that serves as an outreach ministry for the St. Bonaventure Parish. All sales generated from our thrift store support our mission to help those less fortunate in Allegany, Olean, and surrounding Cattaragous county communities. Any donations that are not used or sold are outsourced to one of our 54 local non-profit partners such as the Warming House, Pink Pumpkin Project, Hope Center and Genesis House.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."  

~Mathew 25:35-36 (NIV)
