Episode 15: In this episode of the PozCast, host Shannon Sims introduces Bob Burmeister, the founder of Mr. Bob’s Under the Bridge.
A Story of Compassion
The journey to support the less fortunate began long before Mr. Bob’s Under the Bridge became a 501(c)(3) in 2012. According to Burmeister, it all started in 2007 with six backpacks filled with personal hygiene products, which he distributed with love to friends in the city.
A Thriving Community
Fast forward 14 years, and Mr. Bob’s Under the Bridge has blossomed into a vibrant community of volunteers and donors who come together every Saturday morning at Kosciuszko Park to feed and clothe those in need.
