Amazon Wishlist
We have a shortlist of items that you can choose from to support the drive through Amazon. This provides double benefit both by sending us a valuable addition to our backpack drive supplies, and also by helping conserve our limited funds for items that are harder to obtain.
Please select Tracy Shamberger- The Bridge Project’s Gift Registry Address as your shipping address at checkout to have the items sent directly to the Bridge project.
