About BRIDGE-THE-GAP INC
Bridge-The-Gap Inc is a Jacksonville, Florida based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates food distribution, community garden and supportive services targeted to seniors and people with disabilities. The organization focuses on addressing food insecurity and basic needs through direct distributions, a community garden (the "Garden of Eden"), and senior/homebound delivery programs. In the last 2–3 years Bridge-The-Gap has expanded partnerships with regional food banks and local grocers to scale distributions, and it operates regular community distribution days as well as senior-center and homebound delivery schedules. The organization also runs community health/wholistic programming and has received local government grant support to fund program staffing and stipends. Bridge-The-Gap explicitly serves older adults, people with disabilities and low-income residents in Duval County and nearby areas and has grown materially in scale and funding in recent fiscal filings, enabling broader distributions and community outreach.
