The Bridges program is bridging the gap between need and education.

The Bridges program is a community-based organization designed to help meet students' needs in the West Plains School District and the surrounding rural schools, leading to children being able to focus on their education.

Goals:
- Provide the support needed for students to attain high-quality educations.
- Foster independence
- Teach wise decision making
- Teach personal and educational goal setting

 Bridges Gladly accept donations of:
- Hygiene Products
