Meet Tim – our spectacular spring volunteer award winner!

Tim has been part of the BridgingLife family since 2011, but his heart of service goes back even further—once our beloved cook, now a tireless volunteer who does everything with a smile.

From delivering documents to custom-building kitchen organizers, running errands, sitting with patients and even serving as Santa —Tim is the definition of selfless. He recently trained as an End-of-Life Doula and continues to go above and beyond every day.

We are so lucky to have Tim. Thank you for being our everyday hero! 💙
