Volunteering at The Bridge

Marla Groeneweg spends five hours a week volunteering at The Bridge because she believes in its mission.  “I’ve been so blessed that I want to be a blessing to others,” she adds.

Marla is a full-time mom of four kids.  Although many of the volunteers come to The Bridge in the evenings, Marla wanted to reserve that time for her family but she still wanted to be involved.  She contacted The Bridge to see if she could help out in the afternoons, and it ended up being a great fit.

“This is a wonderful place,” Marla says.  “I love moms and children and The Bridge provides new hope and a new beginning.  It’s so exciting to see what God will do here.”

Marla spends her time at The Bridge assisting with office duties, talking with residents, providing transportation and cleaning.

As far as encouraging others in the community to volunteer at The Bridge, Marla says, “Just do it!  Don’t let fear hold you back—take a step of faith.  If God is prompting you, be obedient.”
