BridgeLife Thrift
About
BridgeLife Thrift is Not your Ordinary Thrift Store. Everything you see when you walk into BridgeLife Thrift is a labor of love for our community. From the carefully chosen items you bring in for donation, to the new ones you purchase to bring into your home, we believe that we are transforming the community of Old Bridge/Matawan one customer at a time. When you come into BridgeLife Thrift you partner with us in caring for life, children, and families in a real and tangible way.
We strive to recognize our staff, volunteers, donators, and shoppers with respect as we work closely with our local communities to impact charitable organizations. 100% of our proceeds will go directly to Calvary Christian School to support Christian Education and Bridge Women’s Center, providing support to women who have chosen life for their babies, with free ultrasounds and programs for single moms.
BridgeLife Thrift is a wholly owned, single member LLC of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, NJ with all proceeds supporting Bridge Women’s Center, and Calvary Christian School.

BridgeLife Thrift Store Donation Policy
We greatly appreciate your donations that will support Bridge Women’s Center and Calvary Christian School, both ministries of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge.
BridgeLife Thrift is a non-profit ministry of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, not a consignment store. All items sold at BridgeLife Thrift are donated and are tax deductible.
BridgeLife Thrift reserves the right to refuse items that are not in good condition. Please remember that if you have a garage sale and items did not sell, they will not sell here and we kindly ask you to not bring these items to BridgeLife Thrift.
Thank you for understanding our policy. Removal and disposal of these items that we cannot sell creates an additional expense to BridgeLife Thrift’s ministry.
Please be sure to send all furniture / large item inquiries with photos to info@bridgelifethrift.org before visiting with your donation.
