Support Bridge to Home's Goal of a New Shelter Facility
Tickets NOW on Sale for Soup for the Soul

Bridge to Home, the primary homeless services provider in the Santa Clarita Valley, invites the community to their premier fundraiser Soup for the Soul - Sera in Italia. Enjoy an Evening in Italy with simmering soups crafted fresh from the garden, prepared by your favorite local restaurants. In addition to soups, guests will enjoy savory appetizers, craft brews, fine wines and decadent desserts. Your participation in this Italian affair will help Bridge to Home with their mission of providing resources to those experiencing homelessness in our community.

"Highlights of this year's event will be updates on two of the
landmark projects in our Santa Clarita 2020 STRATEGIC PLAN -
the new Canyon Country Community Center and the
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station."


"Now is a pivotal time in making a true, lasting impact on homeless in our community," said Executive Director Michael Foley. "We recently announced that we have secured a large portion of the funds necessary to keep our shelter services running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. However, there is still a $250,000 funding gap we need to meet."

The grant from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) contract in the amount of $840,000 will fund 60 beds. The funds from this new contract cover 75 percent of the cost of the expansion. Bridge to Home is launching a significant fundraising campaign to fill the gap and provide the services and resources needed in Santa Clarita. Bridge to Home is also in the process of building a new shelter facility.

Join your friends at the beautiful new Bella Vida to learn more about Bridge to Home's mission, enjoy live entertainment, bid on fabulous auction items and much more!
