About us - Unloading a furniture donation for a family in needFounders Jim & Donna unloading a couch.

Bridging AZ serves as a clearinghouse for donated furniture and household goods to be distributed to qualified families and individuals in need. Recipients are identified and qualified by partnering social service agencies where the clients are enrolled in programs supporting their transition from temporary to permanent housing. These case-management programs support families and individuals moving into self-sufficiency.  Most clients were previously challenged by homelessness, domestic violence, chronic life-threatening disease, substance abuse, employment and/or job training, learning disabilities or just bad luck.

Bridging AZ does not give away FREE furniture, what we do is partner with social service agencies who identify and qualify families in need – Then the families get a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase items they need for a nominal fee.
