128. Volunteer Where You Are, With What You Have

In honor of Volunteer Appreciation Month, this episode of Restoried highlights the incredible impact of volunteers at Hope Bridge and the vital role they play in supporting foster families, single moms, and vulnerable children. While not everyone is called to foster, we are all called to care, and Hope Bridge gives people tangible ways to step into that calling. Simply put, this work would not be possible without the faithful, consistent presence of volunteers who give their time, talents, and resources to serve others. You’ll hear firsthand from Matt, a dedicated volunteer, as he shares what inspired him to step in, how serving aligns with his faith, and the joy he’s found in building meaningful relationships with the kids and families he serves. This episode also explores the many practical ways you can get involved, whether through childcare, mentorship, transportation, meals, or even leveraging your unique skills or resources. If you’ve ever wondered how you can make a difference, this conversation is a reminder that everyone can do something. When we choose to care for the vulnerable in our community, even the smallest step can create a lasting impact.  Episode Highlights:  Volunteer Appreciation Month  Volunteer opportunities Everyone can help  Consistency builds impact  Use your gifts  Small acts matter   Find More on Hope Bridge/Links from this episode: Volunteer Form  Join the Bridge  Comfort & Care Bag Amazon Wishlist  Empower U Meal Train  Louisville Single Mom Support Group Meal Train Visit Our Website  Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook  Learn more about Hope for the Journey TBRI TrainingLearn more about Building Trauma-Informed Spaces with Kim Botto
