Bridging the Gap Urban Ministries is doing their part to Drive Away Hunger! Spanning between November and January, this initiative works to fight hunger and help those in need during the holidays. Our goal is to use each month to donate different items to families within the Greater Lynchburg area. Our goal is to help as many people and families as possible. As to be fair and ensure we are helping those who need our assistance, we have decided to help through various food banks and soup kitchens within the area. Be a part of the change during the holiday season and join our Drive Away Hunger initiative!

Ways to Give!

While many of us get to enjoy the comforts of a wonderful place to sleep and great food to eat, there are many who do not have the opportunity to receive these basic standards of living. The holidays are a perfect time to remind those who are less fortunate that God loves them and so do we! It’s amazing to think about what one act of kindness can do to change the lives of others. We would love for you to make a donation to our Drive Away Hunger initiative! Making a difference in Lynchburg has never been so simple, but together we are sure that we can bring a positive change to the area. Whether its $10, or a few of your extra canned goods, you can help improve the lives of those in the Greater Lynchburg community! Here are a couple of ways you can give:

1. Monetary Donation: Giving a monetary donation allows BTGUM the opportunity to tailor food items to specific individuals. Consider making a monetary donation this year! We are positive that God can take any gift and stretch it to help more people than we could imagine within our community. All checks should be made payable to Bridging the Gap Urban Ministries and should be mailed 5-7 business days in advance in order to ensure that they can be processed in a timely fashion.
2. Contact BTGUM: Have a donation but not sure how to get it to us? Give us a call or send us an email and we can work out a way to get your tangible donations.

Please call (434) 515-2824 or email info@btgum.com if you need alternative arrangements made or for any questions/concerns. We thank you in advance for your assistance in making this possible!
