Guest blog post by Santina Melendez Life as we know it would never be the same Remember March of 2020? Life as we know it would never be the. Thank you guests, sponsors, donors, and volunteers! Thanks for joining Bridging and our 2021 Gala presenting sponsor, BI WORLDWIDE, to celebrate. More than 30 years ago, Fran Heitzman gave away a piece of furniture to a couple who had just had a baby.
He had no way of knowing how the idea of being a bridge between those who have excess, and those who are in need would spark thousands of volunteers to action and help thousands of people in the Twin Cities, and beyond. Bridging can change the lives of people who are transitioning out of homelessness and poverty.

If you are unable to bring your items to Bridging and you live in the Twin Cities metro area, schedule a Bridging home pick up. We offer a fee-based pick up service ($95) from your curb, driveway, or garage. Help us provide the basic home essentials to more to thousands of people every year. Items that no longer have meaning to you can mean the world to a child, family, or individual in need.
