Gather:Make:Shelter creates opportunities for people experiencing houselessness and poverty to engage in collaborative, skill-building projects in creative fields, bringing houseless and housed people together to empower each other. They work to build a city of neighbors, a connected community where everyone looks out for each other. Bridge City means to them more than a series of structures over the river—they build bridges of hope and trust towards a healthy society where people believe in each other and recognize the value and impact of their neighbors’ lives on theirs.
