About Us

 

Through the efforts of a small team of paid staff, nearly 5,000 volunteers, and more than 200 social services agencies primarily in the Twin Cities 7-county area, Bridging is able to serve more than 13,000 individuals each year. Like spokes on a wheel, Bridging represents one part of the process for an individual or family to build a fresh start.

At Bridging, it is very important to us that the clients’ experience is dignified from the moment they arrive at our warehouse to the moment their home is furnished with hope. Our team of staff and volunteers are committed to ensuring the items they bring home are safe, clean, and in good working condition. Our team carefully inspects the gently-used donated furniture and housewares when they enter our warehouse so that they meet our quality standard.

As families face the exhausting challenge of finding affordable housing, employment, education, and health care they are left with severely limited resources to furnish their home. A furnished home environment is a basis for improved job performance, better grades in school, and healthy family interactions. By relieving the pressure to purchase furnishings, Bridging services provide families a comfortable home and allow them to focus on other crucial matters in their life.
