Why We Give: Bridging

Every year, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS highlights the work that local organizations are doing.

It’s part of our Why We Give series.

KSTP Anchor Lindsey Brown highlights Bridging to show how easy it is to support people getting a fresh start at life.

Since 1987, Bridging has served more than 100,000 households and 300,000 people. As families face the exhausting challenge of finding affordable housing, employment, education and health care, they’re left with severely limited resources to furnish their home.

Bridging provides families a comfortable home and allows them to focus on the other crucial matters in their life.

The organization says it can always use volunteers and financial gifts, as well as donations from corporate donors and retailers.
