The Bridges to Circles poverty initiative is working with families moving out of poverty toward self-sufficiency 365 days of the year.  The only limit on the number of families that can be helped is the number of community volunteers who commit their time to serve as allies.

Bridges to Circles matches highly motivated people living in poverty with allies who provide emotional support and assist with life issues. You can help these families by volunteering to serve as an ally! 

If you are interested in volunteering please attend the Bridges Out of Poverty training, Thursday, June 9, 2011.  All training is conducted from 6-8 pm at the Catholic Charities Outreach Center, 1815 N. Sixth Avenue.  For more information, contact Haley Richards, Bridges to Circles community organizer, at 429-7296, ext. 17 or email richardsh@cc.ptdiocese.org.
