Overview

Volunteers have been a key component of The Salvation Army since the very beginning. In fact, the name "The Salvation Army" came about in 1878 when William Booth adapted it from a phrase he read in a report that described the organization as a "volunteer army." Without the year-round support of dedicated volunteers, it would be almost impossible to continue to provide our services and programs.

There are opportunities to help throughout the year. Individuals and groups are needed to assist with a variety of projects, including: helping stock and organize the food pantry, hosting a relaxation party or game night at the Single Women's Lodge, ringing a bell during the Red Kettle (bell ringing) campaign or helping with the Angel Tree program.
