Finding family everywhere.
Yes, we changed our name. Cambridge Family & Children’s Service is now Bridges Homeward.
At Bridges Homeward, our mission
is one of permanency.
Here, that means every child, teen, and young adult has someone that they can count on to always be there for them: a caring person, a loving adult… a supportive community. In fact, Bridges Homeward has been advocating for children, adults, and families for over 145 years.
Our Family of Services:
Foster Care &
Adoption

Family Stories
Sometimes, permanency in our work means making sure a child can remain with their biological family; sometimes it means ensuring someone with a developmental disability can live with family instead of moving to an institutional setting; and sometimes it means finding a child in foster care a forever family. See for yourself.
