Luisa Marcal
August 26, 1954 - May 30, 2020
Words can’t express my heart in the loss of a dear friend to me and to all of us here at the Bridge.
Luisa was called by God to serve at the Bridge and joined the staff team on June 9th 2016 as Office Manager.
She delighted in her gift of Administration which in her words meant “serving the servants of God”. She saw this as “adding to the ministry” and that she did!
Luisa will be remembered for so many Godly attributes, her kind and gentle spirit, the way she honored and respected others, and the joy it gave her to be able to make a task easier for someone else by using her gift to organize. Following protocol and order is something she taught so many without even knowing it!
Luisa was fun and easy to be around, her laugh, sparkle in her eye and radiant smile will be remembered and missed forever!

We planned on three major events this year and so far we've had to cancel two.
We rely on these events to bring awareness to what the Lord is doing here and out of that, raise funds to continue.

What is our response and plan to address the concerns around COVID-19?
First, we continue to follow the mandate that the Lord gave The Bridge from the very beginning.
"Meeting the people where they're at; accepting them as they are and sharing God's unconditional love"
Please note that the doors at the Bridge on 20th will continue to stay open to the community. Our hours of operation will be determined and assessed on a day-to-day basis. On a regular day, we open from 8am to 2pm.
We will remain attentive and cautious to adhere to the City of Saskatoon and health authorities' recommendations.
We are following all current updates and protocols.
As of today, the Bridge on 20th:
DONATIONS: Because the Free Store is opened with extra precautionary measures in place, what and how we can accept donations has changed. Please check here to see what has changed.
Our highest needs today are:
Macaroni, mayonnaise, eggs, cheese, breakfast sausage, 9V batteries, men's small-large underwear,
women's small-medium underwear, 2-in-1 shampoo, razors, and financial donations.
We invite you to pray along, trusting Jesus, with and for us as well as for other community services during this time.
Thank you and God bless you.
