How we support them
How We Serve Together
Our volunteers build relationships with the residents by coordinating social activities and preparing snacks together. Volunteers also collaborate on ideas for future outings with the residents.
Why We Love Them
Our volunteers love The Bridge residents... and the feeling is mutual! There are cultural and generational gaps to bridge, yet the bonds of care between the volunteers and residents is sweet to experience.
How We Partner Together
