Bridging surplus clothing to the people who need it most.
ReSource Bridge partners with clothing companies to rescue unsold, dead-stock inventory and route it directly to charities, shelters, and hospitals providing emergency assistance across our community.
Turning unsold inventory into emergency relief
Every year, clothing brands and retailers write off dead stock: unsold, returned, or overstocked garments. ReSource Bridge exists to intercept that surplus before it reaches a landfill and put it directly into the hands of people facing hardship.
Companies Donate
Clothing brands, manufacturers, and retailers contribute dead-stock and overstock inventory instead of discarding it.
We Bridge the Gap
ReSource Bridge sorts, stores, and coordinates logistics to connect the right donations with the right partners.
Communities Receive
Charities, shelters, and hospitals across Alameda County distribute clothing directly to people who need it.
Turn dead stock into a deduction
Every season, unsold inventory becomes a write-off. Donating it to ReSource Bridge keeps it out of a landfill and puts it directly into the hands of people in crisis across Alameda County. As a nonprofit organization (501(c)(3) status pending with the IRS), your contribution may also qualify as a tax-deductible donation, so it's worth talking to your tax advisor about how a dead-stock donation could work for your business.
A Potential Tax Deduction
Charitable donations of inventory can qualify for a deduction instead of a total write-off loss. Ask your tax advisor how this applies to your business.
Real, Local Impact
Your donation goes directly to shelters, hospitals, and emergency-assistance organizations serving Alameda County, not a landfill.
