Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

The Bridge of Storm Lake strives to care and advocate for Storm Lake youth in vulnerable places of life by meeting them where they are, building a supportive community there, and providing training toward a more hope-filled future.

Neighborhood Centers, a community based ministry that works directly with neighborhoods in Storm Lake to build relationships with the people they serve.

The Garden Training Program, which provides youth and adults with an enriching, practical means of building skills and gaining competency. Community members and youth maintain and harvest the garden while learning agricultural basics, how to market and prepare the produce for consumption and building teamwork skills.  Through this program a 12-week CSA membership is available where members can pick up a box of fresh, local, and chemical-free vegetables each week

The Endless Sea Coffee Roasting Program develops vision and practical skills in young people for future job opportunities, and it provides the community with high-quality, fresh, and locally-roasted coffee beans. Endless Sea Coffee is roasted fresh at The Bridge of Storm Lake as a training opportunity for youth.

Youth Programs that encourage academic, personal, and spiritual growth.  Through these programs meals, after-school activities, bible studies, and summer camps are provided to area kids. Each summer, The Bridge helps prevent summer learning loss through educational programs, time working in the garden and in coffee-roasting, taking trips together, participating in the daily free lunch program through the Storm Lake Community School District, and spending time together in the neighborhoods.
