BARN Gives Back
Giving back to the community is an important part of BARN’s mission! We have many generous and talented members who enjoy volunteering on projects that make a difference in the Pacific Northwest. BARN partners with local non-profit organizations on a wide variety of projects, from woodworking to knitting to cooking and much more.
If you are an organization with a project to propose to BARN, please complete our Community Service Inquiry Form.
