Bridges To Independence is nonprofit orginization serving homeless women and families in the Arlington/Alexandria area. Our goal is to provide our clients with all the necessary support and opportunities to help them reach their goal of self-sufficiency.
Each year, the children in our shelter and our Adopt-a-Family program come togeather to put on a lemonade stand around the Arlington community to raise money for a field trip to Kings Dominion and another orginization of their choice. This year, the kids chose to donate half their proceedes to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue.

Mission Statement
Bridges to Independence leads individuals and families out of homelessness and into stable, independent futures. We offer a continuum of aid and support for all family members, helping them attain financial security and move forward into self-sufficiency. A private, nonprofit organization, Bridges has been working with and for families experiencing homelessness since 1985, when we were founded as the Arlington-Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless.
Description
In a nutshell, "what we do" is build bridges to independence for homeless families and families at risk of becoming homeless. Our bridges - our services - strengthen these families and provide them with the stability, skills, knowledge, and community networks to become self-sufficient. We offer supports for every family member - adults and children alike. Our short-term goal is to help individual clients right now. Long-term, we aim to break the inter-generational cycle of poverty by preparing today’s struggling kids to be tomorrow’s successful adults. From housing to financial literacy, from tutoring to youth development, from life skills to career counseling, we tailor a continuum of services. Some activities are required, some are optional, and some are just plain fun.
