![]() The Family Bridge is a nonprofit organization that provides: (1) short-term assistance and referrals to families (2)opportunities to join affiliate programs which generate income for you and needy families (3)access to low-cost/no cost services such as: mortgage broker services to take advantage of today's new lower mortgage rates; pre-paid legal services; and income tax preparation. Our organization relies on you to access these opportunities and services to enable us to help others. Seventy-five percent of families are currently or have in the recent past received some type of government assistance before moving into the workforce. Most state and federal programs provide minimal assistance for the emergency needs of these working poor families. The assistance requires paperwork and processing time which, in emergency situations, is most often not timely. Families are facing the loss of their homes at record numbers. That is where our organization will be the bridge over troubled waters. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
RESOURCES, REFERRALS AND FUNDRAISERS Referrals will be supplied to families in the form of the following:
Referral to tax preparation specialist for both current year and prior year tax preparation, both individual and small business

Miscellaneous services as deemed necessary Additional resources are listed on the RESOURCE page. As we receive inquiries, new resources will be researched and added to the page.
