“I am very thankful for the opportunity to "shop" at Bridge 127. We have only been fostering for a short period of time (just over one year) and I'm filled with excitement knowing that in the future it doesn't need to be a mad dash to get basic necessities for kids who are placed in our care. When our smallest addition (currently 15 months old- placed with us at 3 weeks old) arrived on our doorstep we had ZERO baby items. We did not plan for this situation but God knew better. We scraped and shopped and asked friends but now I know exactly where I would turn in that situation!
The shop was incredibly organized and everything was clean and some things were/appeared brand new! The shopping experience was easy and we made an appointment as to not be in the store with any other families during this pandemic time. Two floors of clothing, toys, and accessories, all because of people sharing their hearts and pouring out what God has done in their lives. Bridge 127 is a blessing and I'm excited to see this mission grow in Schuylkill County!” Katie, Schuylkill Haven, PA
