Our Impact
Bridge Meadows creates and inspires intergenerational communities to enrich the well-being of children, families, and elders. Our social purpose is to provide permanency of home and family for children and youth who have been impacted by the foster care system. With stable housing, a network of support, and wraparound therapeutic services that improve both physical and mental health, all three generations at Bridge Meadows can move from the stress of instability toward flourishing and prosperity.
Bridge Meadows supports nearly 250 people a year and operates three communities across the state of Oregon -- North Portland (est. 2011), Beaverton (est. 2017), and Redmond (est. 2021). We feel a grand sense of urgency to build more intergenerational communities and support more children, parents, and elders. We are changing lives one community at a time. Proceeds from the IMAGINE gala & auction will support on-site programs, mental health services, and future community site developments.
NOW is the time to invest in community-based solutions to health and well-being. With your support, we can continue changing lives and creating a better future for children impacted by foster care, families, and elders. Learn more about our work and the impact of your support at bridgemeadows.org.
Our community members tell it best.
"When our licensing worker told us that a place like Bridge Meadows even existed, it really was like a dream come true." - Josie, parent
"When I wake up in the morning I feel gratitude. I am so happy this place is here, that a bunch of people cared enough to come together with their resources and give us a place where we could live healthy lives.” - Julia, elder
“For me, Bridge Meadows is about thriving and not just surviving. We have these gorgeous homes that have plenty of space for my kids, and then they get all the services – the art, the therapy, the dance. I want my kids to have a lot of enrichment, and they get that at Bridge Meadows, but the staff brings that enrichment to us, which makes it so much easier to access.” - Laura, parent
