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.

• Teams must purchase dresser kits for $50 each.
• A minimum purchase of 10 dressers per project required.
• All necessary tools and directions are provided. No experience required!
• Assembly teams range in size from 10 – 50+ and generally spend three hours off-site for their project.
• Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older with or without an adult.
• Host a dresser build at Bridging or at your site (for off-site builds, teams of 50+ are needed and additional expenses apply).
