NewBridges Immigrant Resource Center first opened its doors in 2000 when a group of local Mennonite churches recognized and responded to a changing demographic in the Shenandoah Valley. In an effort to support these newcomers, the board chose to focus our mission on human services. For its first fifteen years, the agency was located in Community Mennonite Church. In August 2015, the agency moved to West Water Street in Harrisonburg. In 2023, NewBridges expanded to our current location at 41-B Court Square in downtown Harrisonburg. The agency also added a full-time immigration attorney to our staff. We are 100% locally funded! Our supporters include private donors, churches, the City of Harrisonburg, and local Community Foundations.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
