Most people encountered in the Bridge Ministry do not have cars so we offer rides to church every Sunday. 3 Celebrate Recovery. Meeting weekly in downtown Lawrence CR program offers freedom to the addicted through the Christ-centered 12 step program; 4 Food Truck. Once a month we provide bags of non-perishable food to those living in one of the poorest areas of Lawrence; 5 Mobile Shower offers unhoused residents an opportunity for hot showers 5 days a week.
