First Bridge
About Us
First Bridge is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was established in 2019 to address the growing physiological, emotional, social, and educational needs of children and families in the community of Petal. We work in collaboration with the Petal School District to serve children and their families by providing assistance with school uniforms, food, and other resources. We strive to enhance the quality of life for children and their families by aiming to reduce poverty, connect resources, reform social relationships, and cultivate hope.
Our Mission
The mission of First Bridge is to connect people with resources, relationships, and the hope of the Gospel.
