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.

There are many different ways to get involved with The Salvation Army. We offer volunteers a chance to change people's lives across a wide range of activities and programs - all the while, being changed themselves. Volunteering opportunities are available Monday - Friday from hours of 8:00am-3:30pm with some occasional Saturdays.

Is there an age requirement for volunteering?

There is not an age requirement but some rules do apply.

  • Anyone age 16-18 must have parent consent
  • Anyone under 16 must have a parent or legal guardian on site during volunteering.

How do I become a volunteer?

Volunteering can be easy, you will need to fill out a volunteer application and a background will need to be done. Once all done a interview will be done to see what your interest and schedule will be.

"...there is no reward equal to that of doing the most good to the most people in the most need." - Evangeline Booth.

All of our volunteer opportunities are coordinated locally, where our staff understands exactly how you can be of the most help to most people.
