At Bridge to Basics, we believe everyone deserves access to essential hygiene. We work tirelessly to bridge the gap for individuals and families in the Twin Cities struggling to afford basic necessities like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, diapers and period products. We operate as a hygiene bank, purchasing and collecting items and distributing them free of charge through a network of dedicated nonprofit partners – including schools, food shelves, housing providers, and healthcare organizations. By providing this crucial support, we empower our partners to better serve their clients, fostering health, dignity and a more equitable community.
