Our Mission
With your help we can accomplish our goal!
Building Bridges LRC is a 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit serving the homeless population in Tarrant county. We are dedicated to effecting change in our community by addressing the issues affecting the homeless and provide resources to help Individuals and families re-enter society.
Our mission includes feeding,clothing,discipling,and mentoring the homeless as they work towards re-entering society. We would eventually like to open a facility that would provide housing for those participating in our program. We would also include job training as well as job placement for our clients.

Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.
