Make an Impact in Your Local Community
Volunteer with The Salvation Army and provide help and hope to neighbors in need.
We're Glad you are here!
It's people just like you who make our programs possible.
Volunteering varies depending on where you live, but all Salvation Army locations need help in their food shelf, toy shop, supporting youth programs, and bell ringing at those famous red kettles during the Christmas season.

One-time Opportunities
Our one-time opportunities are perfect for those who want a quick and easy way to make a difference. These include activities like serving a meal any day of the year or ringing a bell during the holidays.
Ongoing Opportunities
Ongoing opportunities are designed for those who want to get involved on a regular basis. We'll know you by your first name, and you'll get to know the people in our programs. These include activities like working with youth, using your professional skills or serving after a disaster strikes.
Group Opportunities
We can accommodate your group's desire to do something good together - whether family, friends, coworkers, civic or church groups. Group volunteer activities are typically project-based or part of a larger event.
Use Your Skills
Whatever you are passionate about - graphic design, organization skills, fashion or something else - can most likely be leveraged as a volunteer. We always have opportunities ready to fill, but are also open to working with you to create opportunities that fit your time and talents. Volunteering can even be a way to further your professional connections - whether in our office setting or a board room as an advisory board member.
