Volunteer

Bridges to Hope is powered by a dedicated team of volunteers. Every day, they are hard at work packing food hampers, baking bread and preparing homemade meals, and providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for those who access our services.

We also welcome volunteer groups to help portion food, stock shelves, and perform various other tasks. If your team is interested in a one-time volunteer opportunity, please fill out our group volunteer application.
