Bridging AZ at a Glance
Organization overview
Bridging AZ is an Arizona furniture bank founded in 2004. Furniture That Changes Lives is our guiding tagline.
Mission
Help turn empty apartments into homes that support dignity, recovery, stability, and long-term sustainability.
What we do
Bridging AZ works with social service agencies that take a holistic approach to homelessness, helping clients move from empty apartments to stable homes with essential furniture and household goods that support dignity, recovery, and long-term sustainability.
Who we serve
People with mental and physical disabilities who were previously homeless, through approved social service agencies and caseworkers. Bridging AZ is not open to the general public and is not seeking more clients.
Key facts
420,000+ items distributed throughout Arizona since 2004. 20+ years serving Arizona communities. Agency-based service through social-service partners statewide. Arizona QCO Code 20357. Historical impact: 1,500+ apartments furnished for previously homeless veterans in the past five years.
Founder & history
Founded in 2004, Bridging AZ was built around the conviction that furniture can change lives. Founder Jim Piscopo is a U.S. military veteran. Work with veterans and children forms important chapters of the organization’s history; these historical programs are not the current fundraising focus. Today, the focus is furnishing apartments for people with mental and physical disabilities who have experienced homelessness through agency partners.
Boilerplate
Bridging AZ furnishes apartments for people with mental and physical disabilities who were previously homeless, working through Arizona social service agencies and caseworkers to support dignity, recovery, and long-term stability.
