Bridge Bread on Main volunteers learn more about the Bridge Bread story and, when they're comfortable, share that story with our customers, offer them information about our products, and help them make purchases. We do on-the-job training on your first day, and you’ll have a lead volunteer with you at all times to help you learn the ropes.
We welcome volunteers primarily on Saturdays and Sundays for two- to three-hour shifts. You can sign up for a regular weekly or monthly slot, or you can choose random shifts that work with your schedule. We'd love to help you get connected!

Mission Statement
Bridge Bread is a social enterprise designed to provide job opportunities for people experiencing homelessness or those who are housing insecure. The goal of the program is to help the disadvantaged engage in a financially rewarding effort that enhances self-worth, promotes dignity and enables them to help themselves.
Description
Bridge Bread seeks to empower people who have experienced homelessness to rebuild their lives with meaningful employment.
Our own Bakery is a highly successful social enterprise that demonstrates that people who have experienced homelessness are eager to work hard and can be valuable employees that earn decent wages. We are a hand up, not a handout to our Bakers. This promotes their self worth and accounts for our success rate.
We want to grow our social enterprise to employ more Bakers making and selling more products through more channels so we can provide further opportunities in all areas of a small business.
Working with social work and business school departments at local universities and with progressive businesses, we intend to find ways to replicate this success in for-profit businesses in many additional kinds of business.
