It Takes an Army to Make a Difference
Thank you for considering volunteering with The Salvation Army! For returning volunteers, we appreciate your dedication and cannot thank you enough. If you are new here, welcome!
Few things are more rewarding than giving your time to help others. It truly takes an army to make a difference! Globally, nearly 3.3 million people volunteered their time, talents, and resources to support The Salvation Army last year. Right here in our community, thousands of individuals contribute to our events and daily activities, playing a vital role in our mission to restore hope and transform lives.
We need people like YOU to stand with us and support our vulnerable neighbors. We have a variety of daily, seasonal, and event-based volunteer opportunities, including meal service, administrative tasks, food pantry support, outreach efforts, general maintenance, emergency disaster response, Angel Tree Christmas distribution, and more.
