Lend a hand at Bridging year-round!
Individual volunteers fulfill the roles of warehouse assistance, product sorting, client shopping, office support, and furniture/electrical repair. Join us once a week or a few times a month. All shifts are scheduled in advance. Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older. Come tour a warehouse with a volunteer coordinator and learn more. Complete an Individual Volunteer Interest Form.
Book a group project in the warehouse; teams of 5 – 25 volunteers help us sort through donated goods, inspect items. load/unload trucks and restock shelves. We book team projects year-round in both locations. Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older. This is an active and fun opportunity where your team can learn more about Bridging and keep our operation up and running! Complete an Interest Form.
