More About Risebridge:
From their website:
Risebridge provides donations to anyone who needs, for free! We pride ourselves on distributing items equitably and coordinating with other service providers and government agencies to spread much needed basic resources across the mid island area.
We give out items directly to the community and do not have storage space so please donate items that are seasonally appropriate and new or in excellent used condition.
Risebridge Mandate:
To minimize the gaps in our social service offerings by holding a safe space for connection, system navigation, and decolonized programming that is trauma-informed and culturally rooted to be responsive to the immediate needs of our community.
