Group Volunteer Opportunities
Is your team looking for a way to give back to the community? Bridges to Hope offers a number of group volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
Please note the following information for group volunteering:
Group volunteer shifts are available when our food bank is closed to the public.
Group volunteer activities may include sorting donations, stocking shelves, repackaging bulk food items, assembling school snack kits, etc.
Due to space limitations, we can accept groups of 6 people maximum. If your group is bigger than this you are welcome to divide the group over multiple volunteer shifts.
Our facility is not wheelchair accessible at this time. If your group has accessibility needs we are happy to arrange an off-site volunteer shift.
Each participant will be required to submit a volunteer information form, media authorization form, and waiver prior to the volunteer shift.
If you are interested in a group volunteer opportunity, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator for available dates! We look forward to hearing from you.
