Our Story
The Bridge Ministries Food Pantry started in 2010 as a small bible study at Otis Instruments in Bryan, Texas. It began by serving a few members of the community who needed food assistance and quickly grew to serving the entire BCS area! The Bridge Ministries is currently the only evening based food pantry in the Brazos County that assists all Texas residents.
Brazos County is ranked in the top 5 counties in Texas with the highest number of food insecure residents. In 2023, Feeding America estimated that 33,000 of our neighbors are unsure where their next meal will come from. This dire need for help has increased due to the increasing costs of food and the fluctuation of our economy as a whole.
We are providing boxes of food to over 600 families every month. In addition to food, The Bridge also provides other necessities like diapers, feminine hygiene products, soap, and toilet paper. These items are free to clients.
We rely entirely on the generous donations of others to purchase these necessities. It is through the generosity and sacrificial giving of donors that allows us to accomplish our mission of eliminating hunger in the Brazos Valley by feeding hungry bodies and souls. There are many ways that community members can support our mission! We welcome all groups, organizations, companies to join us for our volunteer opportunities, do a food drive on our behalf, raise funds or sponsor a project that gives specific needs to the families that visit The Bridge.
Thank you for your help in advance in serving our community!
