Founded in 1987, Bridging is a non-profit 501(c)(3), operating 58,000 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 2009, Bridging served 5,146 families (15,173 individuals) in the Twin Cities area. For every $300 donated to Bridging, we can help another family in need. Check out the 2009 stats.
