The Bridge of Storm Lake

The Bridge of Storm Lake A faith-based non-profit dedicated to connecting, supporting, & empowering Storm Lake youth in vulnerable places of life.

The Bridge is a Christian non-profit in Storm Lake, Iowa, founded by Jay and Anne Dahlhauser in 2010. Bridge staff lives and works directly in Storm Lake neighborhoods, intentionally connecting with people on a daily basis. We believe great impact will be made not in the big programs, but in the real relationships of people of all cultures and backgrounds sharing life together as children of God.

Our mission is to "care and advocate for Storm Lake youth in vulnerable places of life by meeting them where they are, building a supportive community there, and providing training toward a more hope-filled future." In 2015, we launched our Cultivate Garden Training project behind our first neighborhood center, Seneca Center. This is garden provides an enriching, practical means of building skills and gaining competency on 4+ acres of Iowa soil. The youth work alongside mentors to plant, tend the garden, w**d, harvest, then market and sell produce. In 2016, we began developing another training opportunity: Endless Sea Coffee. By the generosity of an anonymous donor, we were able to purchase a coffee roaster. This coffee bean roasting business will provide another means of training young people, teaching business, marketing, and basic work skills.

A huge thank you and a bittersweet "see you later" to our amazing Kaylee- BVU intern! 🌟

Before heading off, she and her roommate left us with a beautiful gift: two stunning new murals for our warehouse. 🎨✨

Our favorite part? The powerful reminder to every kid who walks through our doors that they are Lovable, Capable, and Worthwhile!

Kaylee Nachtigal , thank you for your hard work, your creativity, and for leaving such a lasting mark on our space and our hearts. We can’t wait to see what you do next!

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but we think it’s the most important meal for the mission. 🥞✨

We’re hosting a "Stacks for Success" pancake feed to fuel our latest goals and celebrate the hard work of this incredible team. Come for the carbs, stay for the collaboration!

Let’s butter up some new ideas and syrup-coat our goals. See you there!
