Bridge the Gap
To enhance the health and wellness of those in Jacksonville Florida who are experiencing the effects of food insecurity.
Bridge the Gap is a transformative initiative in North Florida that is dedicated to fostering community health and well-being. At the heart of our efforts is our Food Distribution Program, which includes Bridge the Gap’s Community Garden of Eden. Located in one of Jacksonville, Florida’s food deserts, we bring nutritious food to those experiencing the effects of food insecurity. In collaboration with community partners, we are committed to addressing food insecurity and promoting healthy eating habits. Our work extends beyond food distribution, encompassing a range of healthy initiatives designed to empower our community members and bridge the health gap. Join us as we cultivate wellness, nurture relationships, and grow a healthier North Florida. Together, we can make a difference.

In 2023, Bridge the Gap, in a remarkable partnership with Feeding Northeast Florida and local grocery stores, made a significant impact on our community. This collaboration allowed us to supplement the fresh vegetables harvested from the Bridge the Gap garden with a variety of nutritious food options. Together, we distributed over 900,000 lbs of food to families in need across Northeast Florida. This initiative not only addressed immediate nutritional needs but also fostered a sense of community solidarity. Our collective efforts demonstrate that when we bridge the gap between surplus and need, we can create a healthier, more resilient community. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to this initiative and look forward to continuing our work in the coming year.
