Ways to Get Involved - Volunteer



Volunteer Ministry

Dear Friend of the Mission,

Thank you for your interest in serving with Bridgeport Rescue Mission’s Volunteer Ministry.

At Bridgeport Rescue Mission we see our volunteers as part of our ministry team, equipped to meet the needs of men, women and children we serve in our community. There are a variety of service and volunteer opportunities for you and/or your group to become personally involved. Coming face-to-face with the homeless and needy can be a life-changing experience. No longer are they faces on television, or an "issue" to discuss. Instead, they're people—men and women, boys and girls—with hopes, dreams, disappointments and a compelling need for God's love. I personally invite you to consider joining our ministry team as a volunteer.

To start the process, please review the information below before submitting an online volunteer application.


A few things to know:

1. Please note that you will be required to attend an orientation session and tour prior to beginning your volunteer service. The purpose is to educate our volunteers on the scope of the services and programs Bridgeport Rescue Mission offers to those we serve.
