We are thrilled to announce that our Founder, Priscilla Steinmetz, has been invited to attend President Biden’s State of the Union address this week!

The Bridge Teen Center celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy of coming together and making the world a better place for future generations through a community service project. Families and members of the community took time on the Martin Luther King holiday to work together and help further the mission of The Bridge.

Priscilla Steinmetz, Founder of The Bridge Teen Center, made an appearance on WGN's Spotlight Chicago television show.

“Receiving these awards mean so much and our team is truly grateful,” said Bridge Thrift Store Director, Jason Marion. "The entire team of students, volunteers and staff work very hard to create a memorable shopping experience for our guests and we are honored that the community has voted us the best."
