Bridge of Hope in City Heights is a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening families through transition. Transition can mean many things including families leaving homeless and domestic violence shelters or recovery homes, families facing crisis, and refugees relocating from around the world.
SD Refugee Tutoring provides holistic academic support through one-on-one tutoring, enrichment activities, and mentorship to students of refugee background in the community of City Heights in Central San Diego.
Thank you for partnering with us to support local students and families through our Backpack Drive benefiting Bridge of Hope and San Diego Refugee Tutoring.
Please note that backpacks and funds given specifically for the purchase of backpacks for this drive are considered "designated gifts" for a particular charitable project and, therefore, are not tax-deductible through Flood Church as charitable contributions. In accordance with IRS regulations governing charitable organizations, Flood Church is unable to provide tax receipts for these designated donations.
If you would prefer to make a tax-deductible charitable contribution, we encourage you to give directly to Bridge of Hope or San Diego Refugee Tutoring, who may be able to provide a charitable receipt in accordance with their tax-exempt policies and procedures.
We are grateful for your generosity and your partnership in serving our local community.
