Partner Agencies
We Value Your Partnership!
We are committed to FURNISHING HOMES WITH HOPE and are happy to help provide necessary furniture and household goods to your clients.
Bridging provides a foundational home setup to those who need most items necessary to create a comfortable and functioning home. Our basic home set-up generally includes gently-used upholstered furniture, a kitchen table and chairs, a mattress and box spring, linens, dishes, artwork, and more. (Note: At this time, we do not provide appointments for clients in need of individual items.)
All clients receiving furniture must be referred by a human service provider, healthcare agency, faith-based community, or other partner agency. Most referrals come from agencies that are contracted with Bridging.

How much does furniture cost? Our appointment fee is $75. Delivery is an additional $225 (available in the 7-county metro only). Clients may pick-up their own items for no additional charge.
Are the items used? Most of the items clients receive will be gently used. We work hard to ensure that the items are of good quality, with no rips, stairs, odors, or pet hair. What do we accept at Bridging? And, what is our quality standard?
My client only needs a few items. Can I refer them to Bridging? Bridging’s model and fees are for those who need most items in their home. We do not have appointments for only a few items. This ensures that we have the inventory necessary for those attending appointments with the expectation that most of their household needs will be met.
Can someone shop with my client? Yes. When making an appointment please select that the client will need assistance.
Will you deliver to my client? Yes, within the 7-county metro area. The fee for delivery is $225. Please note: we can only move furniture up two flights of stairs without an elevator (this includes both outdoor and indoor sets of stairs).
Can my clients shop at Bridging more than once? Yes, if your client has found themself living in an empty home once again your agency approves a second visit, they are welcome to shop at Bridging.
What if you don’t have the item(s) my clients want? Our community provides us with tremendous support in the form of donated items. Because we are a donation-based organization, occasionally we may not have an item your client is looking for. Clients will receive most items necessary for a comfortable and functioning home at each appointment. We are unable to accommodate “rain-checks” for unavailable items.
Do I need to complete a home visit? Yes. Home visits ensure that clients are ready for a full household worth of furniture. We rely on case managers to ensure that the items will not create any safety risks or lease violations.
