Fighting waste and hardship, one donation at a time.
ReSource Bridge was founded on a simple observation: clothing companies routinely discard perfectly good, unsold inventory, while families across Alameda County go without basic necessities. We exist to close that gap.
Our Mission
ReSource Bridge recovers dead-stock, overstock, and unsold clothing inventory from apparel companies and channels it directly to charities, shelters, and hospitals providing emergency assistance. We believe no usable clothing should end up in a landfill while people go without, and no organization serving people in crisis should have to go without basic supplies.
Based in Fremont, California, we focus our work on Alameda County, building relationships with local companies, warehouses, and the emergency-assistance organizations already doing the frontline work of caring for our neighbors.
