The Bridge to Hope

Working to End Abuse.

LOVE SHOULD NOT HURT. NO MATTER WHAT IT'S LIKE OUT THERE, IT'S SAFE HERE.

The Bridge to Hope would like to invite you to our 5th Biennial Quilt Tour being held on Saturday, November 5, 2022.

 

What is a quilt tour? Several local quilt groups will be displaying their handmade quilts, (along with historical ones), at four churches in Menomonie: Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Cedarbrook Church, and United Church of Chris, and Christ Lutheran. Each site will also offer demonstrations, vendors, and raffle items

TESTIMONIALS

"I was sexually assaulted on January 9th, 2018 in my own home. After coming to terms with what had happened, Bridge to Hope was right beside me when I made the decision to press charges. 

 

Through all of this, Bridge to Hope helped me realize that this wasn’t my fault and that I’m not alone. My friends and family have shown me that my dreams haven’t changed and they are still just as achievable."
