SonBridge is an organization founded in 2005 by eight church congregations in the Valley. After the building was purchased in 2005, staff and volunteers from the community held Sunday work bees to complete the year-long task of remodeling for the opening of the Thrift Store. By 2014, the medical/dental wing of SonBridge was completed, and by 2017, the Education Center for Better Living was completed.

Key elements of the SonBridge approach are to connect service agencies with other service agencies and connecting persons with resources. After this is done, there are often gaps. SonBridge identifies these gaps and creates programs and services to meet the needs.

SonBridge Center for Better Living is devoted to providing help to the underserved. Thanks to the ongoing support ofvolunteers, SonBridge is able to provide services and resources for people in need in the Walla Walla Valley.

SonBridge serves anyone who needs help without regard to race, gender, ethnicity, religious belief, or affiliation. We seek unmet needs within our community and fill these gaps. Within our organization, we do not discriminate against gender, race, or ethnicity among our staff and volunteers. We are inclusive and celebrate multiple approaches and points of view.

Do you need a space to host a community event, business conference, religious gathering, or support group? Our multipurpose conference and classrooms are available for the community to use. As an extension of our mission to Connect Lives and Empower Change, the SonBridge facilities are being provided to organizations that provide education and support to the community through wholesome and inspiring activities.
