Special to IFN

Bridge of Hearts leaders celebrated this Christmas with a small leadership party as they exceeded their goal of gathering gifts and supplies for impoverished children in public schools and homeless shelters in Iredell County and North Mecklenburg County during 2024.

At the gathering, held at their headquarters in Broad Street Church in Mooresville, the Bridge of Hearts team started planning for 2025.

Visit the nonprofit’s website at www.BOHNC.org to learn how to brighten the life of a poor child with birthday gifts, hygiene kits, or healthy snacks to tide them over at school. Most gifts and food are taken to school counselors for distribution, except for the Gifts of Care, including pillows and sleeping bags for homeless children, which are taken to shelters.
