Volunteer at BACN

BACN is a great place to volunteer at because we truly appreciate each and every one of our volunteers! From working in the Nursery caring for our children to working on a fundraising or community giveaway event to a group wanting to give back to our community for a day, we welcome you.

Please note: We do not offer volunteer opportunities for court-ordered community service.

Holiday Helpers

Thank you so much for your interest in supporting our holiday giving season! We truly appreciate your willingness to help and be part of this wonderful community effort.

We wanted to let you know that while you are welcome to apply for multiple shifts, each volunteer will only be assigned to one shift due to limited space and the number of opportunities available. This will help ensure that everyone has a chance to participate and that we can accommodate more applicants.

Please also note that each shift is limited to four volunteers only, so we encourage you to sign up early for your preferred time. Unfortunately, we're unable to accommodate large groups of volunteers, but we hope there will still be plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved!

Holiday Helpers will lend a hand by sorting food and gift donations, preparing holiday dinner bags for clients, and ensuring gifts are properly labeled for each child.

Please note that we do not wrap gifts for clients during these opportunities.

Volunteering Dates:
Dates: Weekdays Dec 9 - 20
Shift Times: 10 am - 1 pm or 1 - 4 pm
