The Bridge Montana - Recent Projects

BECAUSE A THRIFT STORE CAN BE SO MUCH MORE:
REAL SUPPORT. REAL PEOPLE. REAL CHANGE.

Angels of the Bridge 2025

We are beyond grateful to share that this year nearly 400 children applied to our Angels of the Bridge program! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we were able to increase the number of children we originally planned to support and take on 131 children this holiday season. Every single tag was 100% fulfilled, and we feel so blessed to have played a part in bringing joy and support to families throughout Christmas this year.

Thanksgiving Dinner Box Drive - November 2025

In November, we opened a public application to support local families in celebrating Thanksgiving without the added financial stress. We were able to approve all applications, and provided 20 families with full Thanksgiving dinner boxes - complete with a turkey, classic sides and fixings, and, of course, a pie to finish it off.

Annual Winter Coat Drive - October 2025

Through the help of community donors and many hours of work, The Bridge - Hope in the Roots successfully fulfilled all 74 winter coat requests from families in Missoula and the Bitterroot.

Community Free Fridge, Pantry & Cabinet

One of our main community resources we provide is free essentials to our neighbors. We restock weekly to help fill the gaps within Missoula.
