Roseville Warehouse OpensLast year, 26% of clients using Bridging resided in St. Paul and the East Metro counties. Demand for services is up by 10% in 2006. To help meet the increased demand, our Board of Directors gave final approval to officially open the St. Paul facility in November 2006. We have leased a 22,000 square foot warehouse at 1633 Terrace Drive in Roseville, about 1 mile North of Rosedale. This location will allow us to better serve the Twin Cities area. Nearly one hundred families will be served at the new warehouse the first month of operation!
