Sharper Team Helps Out at Bridging, a Local Non-Profit Serving Families in Need
Eden Prairie, MN, (July 22, 2014) – Staffers recently volunteered at Bridging, a local non-profit that provides furniture and household items to those in need. A group of Sharper team members helped assemble sheet sets, move furniture throughout the warehouse, and load orders headed to waiting families. “Part of our mission here at Sharper is to give back to the community and helping people set up a home is something we’re very familiar with,” says Dan Cunningham, Partner and Managing Broker. “The work they’re doing at Bridging is such a great service to our community. They’re not only helping those in need but they’re making the Twin Cities a better place to live. We’re happy to help out and look forward to a continued relationship with the folks at Bridging.” Bridging was started in 1987 and is now the largest furniture bank in North America. They accept gently-used furniture and other household items, repair these items as needed, and redistribute to those transitioning out of homelessness and poverty. Currently operating from two locations – Bloomington and Roseville – Bridging distributes eight semi-truck loads of furniture and household goods every week. By encouraging reuse of these items, this also reduces landfill space by millions of pounds annually. Bridging relies on community donations and volunteers to keep their mission going – for more information on donating time or items, visit their website at www.bridging.org.

Sharper Brings Holiday Cheer Through the RESOURCE Organization
Eden Prairie, MN, (December 15, 2014) Recently Sharper Management employees donated toys, clothing, and more to the “Adopt a Family Program.” This special holiday giving opportunity is run by Resource, a local non-profit dedicated to helping metro families in need. “Resource sent us our family wish lists and we set up a Giving Tree in our office decorated with mittens labeled with each item needed.” explains Candy Lee, Director of Community Management. “Our amazing staff returned so many items, we ended up with enough gifts for two families! It was rewarding to know we helped others in need and I think it was a great experience for all of us.” For more than 50 years, Resource has been empowering people to achieve greater personal, social and economic success by providing job search and placement, employment training and education, and chemical and mental health services. The holidays often bring an extra burden to these struggling families and Resource has stepped in to help through their “Adopt a Family During the Holidays” program. By partnering with local businesses and volunteers, they are able to provide much-appreciated gifts for hundreds of families throughout the metro area. “One of our goals at Sharper is to give back and working with Resource gives all of our employees a chance to help,” says Dan Cunningham, Partner and Managing Broker. “Adopting a family in need during the holidays is a great way to be involved in the community where we all work and live.” For more information on Sharper Management, call 952-224-4777 or send an email to info@sharpermanagement.com.
