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.
