Volunteering
Our volunteers give with their heart and infuse a spirit of community every time they step up. We are truly thankful for our volunteers who contribute 3,000 – 5,000 hours of personal time annually to assist our small dedicated team and hundreds of Members/Consumers.
When we come together as individuals with an unselfish willingness to help, we strengthen communities – and there is strength in numbers. If you know anyone interested in volunteering, send them our way. The work is rewarding and the results meaningful.
“It’s easy to miss the signs we need support when living with hidden disabilities. I reach out to BDB for support for myself and my son and at every opportunity I try to give back by volunteering my time at BDB events”.
– Paulette L. BDB Consumer/Volunteer
