Partners in Doing the Most Good

The Salvation Army has changed lives and given hope to countless people throughout the nation. But it never does it alone.

The Salvation Army Downriver Corps Community Center absolutely loves our volunteers. We could not do half of the things we do without the support and love of our volunteers. Volunteers are important and vital to fulfilling our mission and vision for the Downriver communities.

The following are our current volunteer opportunities:

Youth Programming

We are looking for individuals that have a passion for a child's well-being, physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. We have several programs that involve our youth and we are looking for adults to help with them. The programs include Music, Youth Night, Archery, Air Rifle Club, and soon, SA Gaming.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Lt. Audrey Sutter or Lt. Shawn Sutter, Sr. at 734-282-0930.

Office

Volunteers are needed to help with assisting office personnel answer phones, file, shred, and general office duties.  Our office is open from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, Monday - Friday excluding holidays.

Food Pantry 

We need volunteers to help with stocking pantry, packing groceries for clients and checking food expiration dates.

Maintenance

Volunteers help maintain the building through housekeeping chores, helping with fundraising events such as the Food Drive, moving foods from garage to food pantry and doing exterior maintenance chores such as keeping parking lots and building clean and presentable to visitors.

Breaking Break Community Meal

Volunteers work with a team to help serve meals to people.  Volunteer jobs include cooking, washing dishes, serving meals, and clean-up.

Nursing Home Visits

We visit 18 local nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, and group homes every Christmas & Easter.  We provide the residents with The Salvation Army War Cry magazines & small gifts.  If you would like to volunteer, please contact Lt. Audrey Sutter – audrey.sutter@usc.salvationarmy.org or 734-282-0930.

Emergency Disaster Services

While each disaster creates its own unique circumstances and special needs, Salvation Army disaster relief efforts focus on seven core services. These services may be modified based on the magnitude of the disaster and adapted to meet the specific needs of individual survivors. The seven core serves are: Training, Food Service, Emotional and Spiritual Care, Emergency Communications, Disaster Social Services, Donations Management, and Recovery.
