Your team helped in our warehouse by painting chairs, assembling furniture and preparing sets of sheets. The 85 chairs your team painted will be distributed to more than 20 families who will be referred to Bridging for service---families who are transitioning into new homes in the community. These families are just part of the 120 families who shop in Bridging’s Bloomington and Roseville warehouses every week.

Thank you also for taking the time to learn about Bridging: how we serve needy families by providing them with household goods and furniture, and how you can participate by donating items or volunteering your time. Please visit http://www.bridging.org/, where you can learn more about who Bridging serves, how we do it and how you can participate.

Everything every volunteer does at Bridging helps to efficiently and effectively serve a family in our community. If you are interested in volunteering with Bridging again, please let me know. For information about bringing a group (school, church, community) to Bridging to volunteer, please contact me. If you know someone who would like to take a tour of our warehouse and learn about our program, please call me.

We also need your help to keep our shelves stocked! Donations of new and gently-used household goods and furniture are always welcome. What do we need most? Pots and pans and towels. Spread the word! A complete list of items we need is attached. Bridging is a 501 (c)(3) organization. Your donation is tax deductible.

Thanks again. We could not accomplish our mission without the help of volunteers---and community partners like Rotary. You demonstrated your commitment to “service above self.” You truly make a difference in someone’s life.
