Shopping for a Cause

"Bridge The Gap" isn't just a charity that Girls Night In has decided to support - it is close to one of our organizers heart. Christine Mongrain, and her husband Greg, are foster parents and have seen the help that this program does give - and the little lives it effects.

From everything to summer camp to gymnastics lessons - Bridge the Gap gives to foster children what isn't necessarily provided to them. The extra's . . the extra specials!

Bridge the Gap is a community outreach program designed to enrich the lives of abused and neglected children in Clark County, WA. To do this, Bridge the Gap provides resources to enhance the stability, growth and success of children infoster and adoptive care. Our vision is to "give every child a childhood".
