Mission Statement
Our Mission: We bridge the essential hygiene needs of individuals and families through partnerships, allowing nonprofits to amplify their impact and build a healthier, more empowered community. Our Vision: Everyone should have access to daily essentials to show up for school, work and community life with care, comfort and dignity. Our goal is to allow nonprofits to maximize their impacts by staying mission-focused and our neighbors to thrive by ensuring their physical and emotional dignity.
Description
Did you know that 1 in 3 low-income neighbors experience hygiene poverty ? And that daily essentials like soap, shampoo and laundry detergent cannot be purchased using SNAP, WIC or other government program dollars? Can you imagine having to go without these basics as you start or end your day?
Bridge to Basics is a new Twin Cities nonprofit launched in 2024 to uniquely address hygiene poverty and support our nonprofit community. Bridge to Basics exists to supply a network of local nonprofits - from schools to food shelves - with the hygiene products requested by neighbors in need. By providing hygiene products , our hygiene bank empowers nonprofits to focus on their core missions, ultimately amplifying their impact and meeting the essential personal care needs of the people they serve, promoting dignity and well-being.
Together, we are building a thriving community where neighbors have access to care, comfort and dignity. Learn how to help here .
