Bridges Kid's Club - Local Volunteer Opportunity

Numerous Canon-McMillan students have volunteered their time with the Bridges Kid's Club in the past.  They are currently in need of new student volunteers! Their current mission is called Operation Santa Military Family Carnival.

Information from their website: “Bridges Kids Club” is a branch of 3 Rivers Wealth Management Group and 3 Rivers Tax & Business Services “Bridges” program that helps to support the Pittsburgh Not-for-Profit community. Bridges Kids Club is a way for local children between the ages of 5 and 19 to give back to other local children in need. By participating in our program our hope is that we can teach a new generation the importance of giving to those less fortunate. We will have several service projects throughout the year as needs arise for local children. Children joining the Bridges Kids Club can participate in as many or as few projects as they would like. When you complete your child’s free membership application, you will be included in our mailing list. As projects arise that meet your child’s age group, we will email you with the details and they can opt in if they are interested.
