We are growing our volunteer network by expanding FHBB services and adding more roles for individuals wanting to join our team on a regular/weekly basis! There are roles for everyone both on and off site. If you have a specific skill or project, tell us, and we can chat about how it fits into our services and mission. Here are the current volunteer teams: ​

Market
Stockers, Sorters, Greeters and many more to come.

Outreach, community events, graphic design/art & marketing, community research, language interpretation

Short Term Service/Community Service

---

Welcoming new members to our volunteer team is amazing, even if it's only for a brief period. Whether you're aiming to fulfill service hours, lend a hand during your school break, or simply contribute your time, we have exciting possibilities that might align with your interests and availability!

---

Groups (2-10 People)

---

Having your family/friends, business or organization volunteer together is a fantastic way to get involved with FHBB. Group opportunities are currently available Mondays, Fridays and some Wednesdays anytime between 1pm and 4pm. Depending on the need of that day, your group could prepare The Market and Hygiene Room, put together a kit for Blessing Boxes or help us with a special project. ​

---

Large GROUPS (10+ PEOPLE)

---

Groups larger than 10 people can be a major help when we have special volunteer events! We will post about upcoming possibilities on our social media pages (Facebook & Instagram) along with our large group email blast.

​If we have a large group volunteer event, we will post them on this page (they will say LARGE GROUP). Your members will sign up for the event individually, so please share the link with them and/or help them fill out the form.​
