Help Your Neighbors In Need - Many Volunteering Options at Bridging

Join the Bridging Volunteer Team!

We have many fun and meaningful opportunities to help Bridging acheive its goal of changing lives. We ask for a regular commitment of a day a week or a few days a month.

Bridging is an organization with a simple concept: take quality furniture and household goods that people no longer need and reuse them by distributing them to families in need. Bridging is the largest furniture bank program in the nation. This year, Bridging will serve over 13,000 individuals and distribute over $13 million (100,000 items) of free furniture and household goods.

We need you! Come in once a week or a couple of times a month… flexible and rewarding opportunities available. Individual volunteers assist during all hours of operation, Monday through Saturday. Volunteers must be 14 year or age or older (with or without an adult) and provide a minimum of 20 service hours over six months.  Bridging is a great place for senior volunteers.

New volunteers attend a 30-minutes introduction tour prior to their first day of service to learn more about the needs, program and open opportunities. Select from a variety of departments and offer up your talents:
