According to research from @uchicago's @chapin_hall, 1 in 10 young people aged 18-24 experience at least one night of homelessness every year in the United States. @breaktime_ma and Bridge are working to change this. Learn more about Bridge's work at bridgeotw.org/learn.

Last week’s Halloween themed health fair at @BridgeOTW was a great success! The youth were connected to STI testing, flu/covid vaccines, gender care, women’s health resources & more. Many thanks to our incredible volunteers who brought the extra spark to this well-attended event.
