Who are we?
Bridge to 100 is a group of individuals who are deeply concerned about the epidemic of opioid and other addictions in the State of North Carolina. Four out of the five top 25 cities in the United States abusing opioids are in North Carolina – Wilmington, Hickory, Jacksonville and Fayetteville.
The Hayes Family Foundation has supported a number of treatment centers for many years. Our goal is to build a bridge from all 100 North Carolina counties to affordable, faith-based, geographically convenient treatment centers. The common thread that is our personal goal and the goal of the treatment centers is to be faith-based and successful.
We are a non-profit organization that does not raise money, charge for services, or expect any portion of grant money we help to secure. We are committed to helping individuals “find freedom” from their addictions.
Our website www.bridgeto100.org provides access to information across the State of North Carolina with live links to take you to that information with the click of a mouse. We are here to help you and those entangled in addiction to break free.
