Changing Lives One Dresser at a Time - A Unique Group Volunteer Project from Bridging

A unique volunteer project for groups! Provide a new dresser for families and individuals in need.

For many, a dresser is a piece of furniture that is traditionally used in bedrooms for storing clothing and other items.

For a Bridging family, a dresser is so much more. A dresser provides a family a great sense of dignity as items that were once stored in bags, boxes or on the floor, now have a permanent home.
