Haverhill-based Emmaus is the beneficiary of BrightBridge Credit Union’s renewal of its annual $30,000 sponsorship of the nonprofit providing emergency shelter, affordable housing and related services.
BrightBridge is Emmaus’ longest running and largest partner, with more than three decades of ongoing support that has helped advance the organization’s mission of promoting stability and creating opportunities for those most in need across the Merrimack Valley.
“There are a growing number of families and individuals in our communities who rely on Emmaus’ programs and resources,” said BrightBridge President and CEO John J. Howard. “We are so honored to continue our partnership with Emmaus and to support their unwavering commitment to helping our neighbors build more secure futures.”
Emmaus’ services include homelessness prevention, rehousing and stabilization, career services, parental support and coordinated entry. Programs are geared to ensuring individuals and families experiencing homelessness receive appropriate assistance for both immediate needs and long-term housing stability.
“For 40 years, Emmaus has been at the forefront of supporting families and individuals experiencing homelessness, and BrightBridge Credit Union has been by our side for virtually every milestone,” said Emmaus CEO Al Hanscom.
