WE ARE THE CENTER!
FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BONNIE MICHELLE CANNON
The Center’s has been in CRISIS MODE since March 16th. when schools were closed.
Our Call to Action is helping our children and their families.
The families we serve are economically fragile. Over half our families have lost income.
This is a CRISIS and we are asking for your help now and for our future.
Our food pantry is serving our families twice a week.
This past week we were able to provide food for 25 families, which is 82 individuals. The families have been very grateful for the help in this difficult time.
Our After-School kids are now participating in our on-line learning.
$300 will feed a family of 4 for one week
$500 provide certified individual on-line tutoring
$1,000 can provide one of our families with their own computer
Pledge towards The Center’s Emergency Fund
PLEASE SUPPORT OUR MISSION
Stay Safe. Peace and Blessings,

OUR DREAM OF A NEW BUILDING IS ON THE WAY
The Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center is a lifeline for working families.
Our little farmhouse, which was donated along with 6 acres to form the Center after a fire in a migrant camp in 1949 tragically killed two children, has long been outgrown.
The Center desperately needs more space to:
- be able to serve more children in our over-subscribed After-School programs
-provide permanent space for our teens to meet and participate in our college prep program and SAT classes- our teens need their own space.
-construct a computer lab to give our children tomorrow’s skills
-build new classrooms for: art classes, Chess and Scrabble clubs; one-on-one tutoring and homework help, to name just a few
-expand cramped office space and add more restrooms, currently there is one for the entire building
-offer community education space for groups to hold lectures or seminars and to hold our own Thinking Forward Lecture Series for the community
-create indoor space for our low-cost summer camp during inclement weather
HELP MAKE OUR DREAM COME TRUE FOR OUR COMMUNITY’S CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
OUR DREAM IS NOW!
Our dream of a new building is becoming a reality.
The Center will be breaking ground in 2020.
