Did you know that more than 3 million people volunteer for The Salvation Army across the United States every year? From ringing bells during the holiday season to distributing supplies in the wake of a local disaster and serving food to the hungry, volunteers are the backbone of The Salvation Army's efforts to help those in need.

Our volunteers are making a difference for families and individuals throughout Michigan.
