The mission of Building Community Bridges is to inspire, uplift, and aid youth development through self- awareness, education entrepreneurship and community issues that impact their daily lives. Throughout the week there is a Food Pantry run by Diane Struemph that happens twice a week where families have the choice of fruits, vegetables, canned goods, cleaning supplies, and personal hygiene products. Throughout the year there are several programs that benefit the community such as the coat drive in the fall and winter months, Turkey and turkey dinner meal give away in November, Toy Drive for Christmas, Baby shower donation for expecting mothers, back to school drive in the fall, and participation in many Jefferson City Community Block parties and fundraisers. BCB is Open Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m until 8:00pm, and 10 a.m until 2 p.m on Saturday, and closed Sunday.
