The mission

What this organization describes

We furnish homes with hope.

Bridging, serving the greater Twin Cities, is the largest furniture bank in the United States. Providing furniture and household goods to families and individuals transitioning out of homelessness and poverty, Bridging gives hope-and for many-a leap toward financial stability for the first time. With locations in Bloomington and Roseville, Bridging is driven by volunteers and donations of furniture and household goods from the community. Since 1987, Bridging has furnished over 90,000 homes, and every year, reduces landfill space by approximately 10 million pounds.
