Bridges of Light teamed up with the administration and teachers at Carver Middle School to create a "Pay it Forward" incentive program that allows students to earn "Carver Bucks" for showing initiative and kindness to fellow students and teachers. The students can then use their "Carver Bucks" in the Closet of Care to get an item of their choice!
Our "Closet of Care" contains new/gently used clothing items, shoes, accessories, toiletries, and school supplies.
The goal of the Carver Buck program is to nurture the children by meeting fundamental needs, while simultaneously rewarding them for good behavior.
As a volunteer at the store you will have the opportunity to help students pick there items, collect carver bucks, encourage good behavior and be an integral part of the program. Carver Bucks are redeemed at the store every Wednesday from 2:15-3:00 p.m.
More opportunities with Bridges of Light Foundation
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
About Bridges of Light Foundation

Mission Statement
Our objective is to raise money that is distributed specifically for children who have been abandoned, abused or neglected. All money goes directly to helping these children. If we have done our job, these children become young men and women heading off to college to live productive life with mentors who will guide and help them succeed with strength from what they have experienced.
Description
The Bridges of Light Foundation was founded in 2004 to help children in need, specifically children confined to foster care facilities between the ages of 6-18. We provide these children with mentors to help them with everyday issues that arise in a child's life. These children have been abused, abandoned or neglected so they do not have a stable family unless they are adopted. A very small percentage of children are adopted once they move into their teen years. We want to teach these children to stay in school, get a degree and become productive in our community.
