JEFFCAP BRIDGE CITY COMMUNITY CENTER CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS
All Services for Residents will Continue at J.C. Simmons

JEFFERSON, LA – Effective on Monday, Feb. 13, 2023, the Jefferson Community Action Program (JEFFCAP)’s Bridge City Community Center will be closed for renovations. All community-based programs and services, including food distribution, will continue at the J.C. Simmons Community Center, located at 4008 U.S. Highway 90.

“We want to make sure residents know that services for those who regularly visit our Bridge City Community Center will not be postponed,” said JEFFCAP Director Christi Langoni. “We will transition everything over to J.C. Simmons, which is only 5 miles away. We thank our residents for their understanding during this time and will provide additional updates once repairs are complete and services move back to Bridge City.”

JeffCAP has eight Community Centers – six on the West Bank and two on the East Bank of Jefferson Parish – offering community-based programs and services that embody a “wrap around” model used to strengthen families and improve communities. Through a partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, JeffCAP provides monthly food boxes to qualified individuals at these centers. Residents interested should contact their local community center for distribution dates and times. CLICK HERE for a list of center services, locations and phone numbers.
