We’re going “old school”! Bridging needs your help today!

Year round, Bridging, a Minnesota 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, provides furniture and household goods to 100 households a week, empowering people as they transition from unique paths to housing stability.

With dignity and a personalized shopping experience at Bridging, individuals and families secure beds and linens for a good night’s sleep, lamps to shed light, dishes and cookware for meal preparation, and upholstered furniture for comfort and relaxation. A furnished home offers the stability and confidence that can help someone create a fresh start.

“To have a home, it’s the first part of the puzzle. I stayed in my apartment for two months without a bed. Now I can lay on my bed. I have a place to sit. I can share gratitude to people who have helped me by sharing a meal with them at my home. It’s bright, cheery, and happy versus having an empty apartment. I feel deserving. I deserve a good life. A furnished home is a huge part of the puzzle.” — Melissa M., Bridging client

WHY DOES BRIDGING CHARGE FOR A PICK UP?

1. Bridging is a non-profit organization that provides donated items to clients in need.
2. The fees from this program allows us to cover expenses related to our pickup program (i.e. gas, staffing, insurance, and maintenance).
3. We ask that our community of donors help cover this expense by paying the fee for pickup service.
4. If we didn’t ask our community to help, we would not have adequate funding available to run the trucks. Thus, the program would not be available.
