Serving Nearly 6,000 Minnesota Families Each Year
Founded in 1987, Bridging is a non-profit 501(c)(3), operating 100,000 square feet of warehouse space in Bloomington and Roseville. Bridging was founded on the simple concept that community resources should be shared with those in need. Our purpose is to "bridge the gap" between the "haves" and the "have nots".
Our mission is to provide the economically disadvantaged with a one-time gift of quality furniture and household items which helps to stabilize and improve their lives while effectively using community resources. Through a network of over 200 social service agencies, eligible clients are referred to our warehouse for a once-in-a-lifetime shopping experience. Program services and community needs continue to climb across the state. In 2008, Bridging served over 17,000 individuals. This is double the number of individuals served five years ago. View our increase in program services from 2003 to 2008.
Holiday Closing: Please note, Bridging will be closed on Friday, July 3, and Saturday, July 4. We will reopen for donors and clients on Monday, July 6.
