About Bridge to Basics

What We Do Bridge to Basics is working to address hygiene insecurity as the only hygiene bank in the Twin Cities. We are a nonprofit that is uniquely focused on creating a supply chain of personal hygiene products and making them available to nonprofits in our community for distribution. We are propping up our nonprofit partners who are being asked and tasked to give their time and resources to meet these needs, but are clearly outside of their missions. Our nonprofit partners range from schools to food shelves. They place orders of hygiene items based on neighbors served and we supply that inventory. 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. This is Why 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? Who We Are Bridge to Basics is a new 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 struggling neighbors. By providing hygiene products, the 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. Our Vision: Everyone should have access to daily essentials to show up for school, work and community life with care, comfort and dignity.
