The toll-free number is (800) 924-9918 or text to (715) 505-3640.

• In-person services will be limited to people who cannot safely talk over the phone. If possible, please call before coming to the office so they can explain the process for in-person appointments.

• They will not be able to provide in-person services to anyone who has symptoms of an illness.

• Safety precautions will be taken for in-person appointments at The Bridge to Hope.

• They are canceling all events, groups, classes, and educational presentations until further notice.
