How Do Donations & Volunteers Help Lifebridge?

August 15, 2019

 

Lifebridge is a nonprofit organization. We rely on the help of volunteers in our community, and donations for support. These power us to help our clients be the best they can be through programs, trainings, meals, emergency shelters, and finding permanent housing.

Volunteer Support at Lifebridge North Shore

We rely on the support of our volunteers in many ways. 

 

Volunteers assist with groups and workshops. They contribute their knowledge and skills to enhance our programs and services. We’re fortunate for our volunteers who lead our clients in classes focused on resume building, job search skills, financial management, coping skills, and more.

 

People volunteer their time at the Lifebridge Thrift Shop by sorting clothes, managing merchandise, staging the store, and accepting donation drop-offs. 

 

Kitchen volunteers help to prepare, cook and clean after meals at the Grace Center, our day shelter in Gloucester. The ladies in the kitchen are a vital group of volunteers who make an incredibly strong impact at Lifebridge. 

 

Donations to Lifebridge North Shore

 

When you donate to Lifebridge, you’re directly helping people experiencing homelessness in our North Shore communities. There are many ways people donate and support our mission, and we wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the help of these community donations. 

 

Donations include drop-offs to the Lifebridge Thrift Shop. This can be in the form of new or lightly-worn clothes, kind donations, and goods for lifebridge locations, as well as leftovers/food from parties, drives, or celebrations. We’re always accepting and fortunate for any donations we receive as they go such a long way here.

 

You can also give to Lifebridge online in an e-payment, purchase a ticket for an event, or make a one-time donation. We are so thankful to those who contribute to our success. Our mission would not be possible without donations, volunteers, and endless support. 

 

If you’re looking to get involved at Lifebridge, or if you want to make a specific donation, please contact lifebridge at any of our three locations
