Mark Wilkening, Executive Director Bridging
Furnishing Homes with Hope, Host - George Lee
Bridging was founded on one simple, yet powerful idea—that together we can create a bridge between those in need and those with excess. Since the first donated item, Bridging has provided the basic home essentials to over 90,000 families.
Mark has 15 years of executive leadership experience and has spent his entire 25 plus year career serving nonprofits in the Twin Cities. He joined Bridging in 2015 and is responsible for leading the organization’s strategic effort to "Serve More, Better." He is truly passionate about Bridging's important role of being one critical stop on the journey toward housing stability. He received his BA degree in Business/Economics from Wheaton College in IL. When he is not helping furnish homes with hope, he can usually be found doing an outdoor activity with his wife and four children.
