Coldest Night of the Year 2025

On Saturday February 22, the residents of Bradford joined a walk in support of the community's most vulnerable members. Every dollar raised went to support GROUNDWORK - a wrap around program that provides individuals with mentorship, part-time employment, as well mental health and group support through WOW-Living. 


This years goal is HUGE - $100,000! And we have fulfilled 79% ($79,158) of that goal. Last year, through a lot of prayer and the support of this amazing community we surpassed our $80,000 goal! We are still praying and excited to see what we can accomplish together by the end of March. Please help us reach our $100,000 goal; we are so close!
