The Bridge The Bridge is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the health & well-being of the community.

The Bridge (formerly Perham food shelf) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a temporary food source in an environment of respect, caring and optimism. Clients do a brief registration (about 5 minutes) then 'shop' by selecting the food most useful to them and/or their families. The Mobile Pantry makes monthly stops in Richville, Ottertail, Vergas and Dent.
