Our mission is to deliver essential services, provide equitable access to resources, and advocate for health and dignity across every stage of life. Since 1977, Community Bridges has been a catalyst for a brighter future by delivering fundamental resources for the people of Santa Cruz County. Our family of ten vital programs across 20 different sites serves thousands of local children, families, and seniors each year. While each program is remarkable on its own, together we are unstoppable.
Our local Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, run by Community Bridges, has served thousands of families in Santa Cruz County and the Pajaro Valley since 1977. Rising diaper costs are a major challenge, with prices up 22% since 2018. To help, we launched the WIC Diaper Program in 2023 and have distributed 852 packs in nine months. However, demand exceeds supply.
Your donation can help us expand this vital program, ensuring no family has to choose between diapers and other essentials.
Just having the confidence to ask for help is hard, but I strongly believed in breastfeeding—I know the benefits. WIC, the people who work here, really helped me. Their classes, the resources, the checkups... Every baby is like a different experience.
