Opportunities for Kindness

Daphne Youth Club snack need

As we wrap up summer camp, snacks and gatorade are needed in the final weeks to keep our little ones fed and hydrated. An end of summer outdoor party is planned with water slides to keep the kids cool while having a little fun! We would like to sponsor this event by providing chips, cookies, pickles and drinks. If you would like to join us in providing snacks for 90 campers, please click I Can Help to contribute. Thank you so much for spreading kindness and love to our community!

FHS band student needs help

We have a talented Fairhope band student who needs help paying the fees for this school year. His family is unable to cover the cost of the uniform and fees for the fall and unfortunately if the fees are not paid, the student would not be able to march during football season. We would love to bless this family by paying the band expense so this young man can nurture his musical talent and maintain a connection with his peers. If you would like to contribute to this need, please click I Can Help and neighborhood bridges will pay the school directly for the fees. ($443.95)
Thank you for spreading kindness in our community!
