    Bridging, a nonprofit organization serving the greater Twin Cities, is the largest furniture bank in North America. Through the effective reuse of donated items, Bridging improves lives by providing quality furniture and household goods to those pursuing housing stability. Driven by volunteers and donations of furniture and household goods from the community, Bridging has furnished over 110,000 homes since 1987.

    NOW more than ever, we need your help to serve the mission as we empower people to THRIVE in their homes.

    Join the Bridging Volunteer Team!

    We need help "shopping" in person and virtually with our clients!
    You'll team up with another volunteer or two, and lead our clients on an in-person or virtual trip through our warehouse to help them choose items to furnish their new homes!
    Shifts are Monday through Friday, 8:45am to Noon (we ask that you commit to at least one day per week)
    We also need help in our warehouse!

    We need help with our warehouse inventory! Meet donors/donations at the dock door, taking in household goods and furniture. Load trucks for our delivery team. Unload trucks as they return from residential and corporate pickups. Help us restock the shelves after shopping has been completed. Be prepared for a workout, get your steps in, and lift stuff (both light and heavy)!

    Shifts are in 3 hour increments available Monday through Thursday from 9:00am to Noon, 12:00pm to 3:00pm and 3:00pm to 6:00pm and Friday through Saturday from 9:00am to Noon and 12:00pm to 3:00pm.

    **We are especially in need of warehouse volunteers for the 3pm6-pm shift during the week and on Saturdays!

    We ask that you first come in for a tour of our warehouse so that you can get a scope of what we do. Tours last 20 to 30 minutes.

    Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older.
