Bridging: General Warehouse Assistance

Who is Bridging?

Bridging, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving primarily the greater Twin Cities, provides donated furniture and household goods to families and individuals transitioning out of homelessness and poverty. Bridging gives hope – and for many – a leap towards stability for the first time to more than 85 households each week. 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 more than 90,000 local Twin Cities households, and reduced landfill space by 10 million pounds each year. Watch ourBRIDGING 101 VIDEOand see us in action!

What will I be doing?

• You will be providing general warehouse assistance: loading and unloading trucks, sorting through donated goods, rolling linens and restocking shelves.
• ​Specific projects will be determined on the day of your event based on final group size, inventory and warehouse priorities.
• Note: All volunteers must be 14 or older.

What should i wear?

• You should dress comfortably and in clothing that can get dusty or dirty. Layers work well since the temperature of the warehouse varies.
• Shoes must be close-toed; no sandals allowed.

Can I bring donations on the day of the event?Yes! Bring a bag, box or an entire carload! Additional information about Bridging is available on our website at bridging.org.

I’m looking forward to a great time together!
