Since 1977, Community Bridges has been weaving the safety net for Santa Cruz County and beyond, helping make our community stronger, healthier, and more vibrant.
We reach over 27,000 Santa Cruz area residents each year! That’s one out of every ten people, maybe someone on your block or in your family.
Our Family of Programs not only meets the needs of local children, families, and seniors, but with over 27,000 participants each year, we are also able to anticipate emerging needs and find collaborative solutions to issues such as closing the academic achievement gap, supporting seniors to live with independence and dignity, preventing child abuse through parent support and education, and increasing access to medical care and good nutrition.

Bike Dojo and Beach Flats Community Resources First Bike Distribution Day!
Bike Dojo is excited to announce the details of their first Bike Distribution Day was held on March 24th, 12pm at the Bike Dojo for their charity Project B.I.K.E. (Believe In Kids' Exercise).
Bike Dojo is grateful to partner with Beach Flat Community Center, a non-profit program of Community Bridges, who is instrumental in promoting the program and finding kids to participate. Working together with a common vision will enable Bike Dojo, and the cycling community of Santa Cruz, to give more to children in need and make a real difference. Bikes will be donated to children ages 5-15 who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford one. The event will also feature an official proclamation by Mayor Don Lane, marking the charity as a significant event in Santa Cruz's history.
To learn more about Project B.I.K.E., visit Beach Flats Community Center, and check out their video for the charity at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KuIhhqKLR0.
