We envision a thriving community where every person has the opportunity to unleash their full potential.

About us

Since 1977, Community Bridges has been a catalyst for a brighter future by opening doors, offering hope and providing a hand up to the people of Santa Cruz County. We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world: redwood forests, a marine sanctuary, and thriving farmlands. But even in paradise, there is struggle. At Community Bridges, we pride ourselves on providing the resources that lead to positive change in peoples’ lives. Our family of ten vital programs, across twenty different sites, meets the needs of thousands of local children, families and seniors each year. While each program is remarkable on its own, brought together... they are unstoppable. Every day, we work collaboratively to build the safety net in our community and discover solutions to emerging issues. Our programs empower seniors to live with independence and dignity, increase access to medical care and good nutrition, prevent child abuse through parent education, and work to close the academic achievement gap. With your compassionate investment of money or time, you can join us in this important mission that touches every part of our community.

  • Freedom is not just a moment in history—it’s an ongoing commitment. On Emancipation Day, we honor the resilience of those who fought for liberation and reflect on the work that continues today. True freedom is rooted in dignity, equity, and opportunity for all. As a community, we move forward by uplifting one another, removing barriers, and ensuring every person has access to the resources they need to thrive. #EmancipationDay #EquityInAction #CommunityBridges

  • Health should never depend on where you live or what you earn. This World Health Day, we stand for health equity—ensuring every person has access to the care, resources, and support they need to live well. From food access to transportation and family services, community-based care makes a lasting difference. Because when everyone has the opportunity to be healthy, our whole community is stronger. #WorldHealthDay #HealthEquity #CommunityCare

  • Tomorrow, March 31st, many of our offices will be closed. We often use this time to reflect on the legacy of Cesar Chavez, farmworkers, and the fight, progress, and accomplishments of the many labor leaders and civil rights activists who have worked for years to advance dignity and respect for workers. We understand that this year, this moment may feel very different. The accusations made against Cesar Chavez are jarring and disheartening, and they should be taken seriously. When survivors of abuse come forward and share their experiences, we must listen to them, believe them, and honor their courage with support and respect. Though we observe this time with mixed emotions, we also recognize that the movement for workers’ rights has never belonged to one person. It has always been shaped by thousands of individuals—many of them women, immigrants, and people of color—whose leadership and contributions have too often gone unrecognized. Their organizing, advocacy, and persistence have been essential in moving this work forward. That legacy lives on today through the ongoing efforts of people who continue to organize, speak out, and demand justice in their communities. The fight for worker justice, dignity, and civil rights will continue—as it always has—driven by the collective power of people.
