I had the pleasure of speaking with Rebecca Toews at Bridging about how we can start to rethink decluttering and how we donate. Find out more by reading the Bridging blog post “Right-size Your Life and Help Bridging FURNISH HOMES WITH HOPE!
WHO IS BRIDGING: Bridging a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization primarily serving Minneapolis/St. Paul, provides donated 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 Roseville and Bloomington, Bridging is driven by volunteers and donations of basic home essential items from the community.
Since 1987, Bridging has served nearly 95,000 households and reduces landfill space by 10 million pounds each year.
BRIDGING MISSION: Through the effective reuse of donated items, Bridging improves lives by providing quality furniture and household goods to those transitioning out of homelessness and poverty.
CLIENTS SERVED: More than 4,500 households served per year; more than half of the individuals we serve are children under 17 years of age. 87% of clients have a household annual income of less than $20,000 per year.
