We are so grateful to our community partners like OneBridge Benefits! Your team continues to show up and help us carry out our mission in the community in many ways. Thank you!
🏡 Another successful day of serving Buffalo in the books! 🏡 Last week, members of the OneBridge team spent the day with Gerard Place on the East Side, helping to set up their summer picnic, organizing clothes for donation, and filling grocery bags to hand out to members of the community. One of our favorite organizations to partner with each year, Gerard Place provides housing, supportive services, community education, and outreach to homeless individuals and families. Of those they've helped, over 90% have not returned to homelessness! Learn more about how you can support Gerard Place, and the Greater Buffalo East Side community, by visiting gerardplace.org. #volunteer #community #onebridgebenefits
