Bridge - Lake Point - Waunona Neighborhood Center
A place for everyone in
our community
Since 2004, BLW Center’s mission has been to support the Southeast Madison community in addressing the needs identified by its residents. Our programs include a food pantry, youth programming, Family Resource Center, senior program, wellness services, community events, and much more for all ages.
All of BLW’s programs are free and open to all.
BLW Center transforms lives.
Sometimes that means helping a parent attain a family-supporting job, or tutoring a child to earn straight A’s in school.
Other times that means connecting a community member with a volunteer opportunity that brightens the lives of others.
Regardless of what brings you to BLW, everyone is welcome.
