BridgeBuilders KIDS

The Big Little Impact of Art

We aim to create spaces to celebrate our kids and facilitate a positive experience with creativity, which is made possible with the Dallas Museum of Art as an enrichment partner. DMA art experts came in to host a 3-week pop-up with hands-on art education and experience. They also guided the kids on a personal tour of the DMA and helped make a showcase at Bonton Farms where families, friends, and the community could view their artwork.

The Big Little Impact of Art

Partnership

Friendship is Sharing Food

Friendship is Sharing Food

Picture a slow cooker filled with beef and vegetables, simmering in a delectable stock for 12 hours to develop the flavor. Maybe you can recall the aroma of a family dinner from your childhood as you read. Just like this delicious dinner, our community benefits greatly from time, opportunities, and assets compassionately given. 

Similar to popular meal-kit products on the market today, The SharedDish is providing care package meals for our neighbors along with a Crock-Pot to easily cook them. All the meats, veggies, spices, and ingredients are provided with simple instructions for preparation.

Distributed twice per month, these free meals make a delicious difference for our neighbors! Creating simple and healthy recipes keeps good food on the table where less nutritious options are often so much cheaper and more available.

Stronger Community through Partnership: Bonton Bible Church

Stronger Community through Partnership: Bonton Bible Church

BridgeBuilders is dedicated to restoring hope and transforming communities, and lasting change begins with empowered, community-anchored leadership. One significant partnership we love to support is Bonton Bible Church, a beacon of faith and community in the heart of South Dallas.

 

A Shared Vision for Bonton

Bonton Bible Church’s mission is deeply aligned with BridgeBuilders–bringing hope, restoration, and transformation to Bonton through the message of the Gospel. Led by local leaders with deep roots in the neighborhood, Bonton Bible Church understands the unique challenges their community faces and seeks to meet those needs holistically, through relationships, spiritual growth, and practical support. This church is a space of community life, spiritual growth, and worship.

Building Bridges: Dallas United For Good

Building Bridges: Dallas United For Good

We believe in using the resources and opportunities we have to elevate leaders from within our community. This commitment isn’t just about providing services or meeting immediate needs; it’s about empowering our neighbors to lead initiatives that bring lasting change to South Dallas.

Last year, we celebrated the launch of the South Dallas Driving Academy and Bonton Bible Church—both of which continue to create ripple effects of transformation in our neighborhoods. These efforts weren’t isolated acts of support; they were part of a broader strategy to create sustainable, community-anchored leadership. This year, our focus has expanded as we continue to cultivate leadership through the formation of two local nonprofits, one of which is Dallas United for Good.

You Give Them Something to Eat

You Give Them Something to Eat

And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.”

Mark 6:35-37 (ESV)

The Bible gives us many calls to serve others, and Jesus modeled this in His life perfectly. What can a servant of God learn from Jesus’s order to the apostles to feed His followers?
