Christmas offers many opportunities for ministry through the auspices of The Salvation Army.
Angel Tree:
Located at Quintard Mall, this offers the general public the opportunity select a specific child for whom they will provide sp;ecific items for Christmas day. This gives each person the option of making Christmas assistance more personal for the donor.
Bell Ringing/Kettles:
Each year The Salvation Army mans red kettle stands throught the area. Volunteers are needed desperately to man these locations. We recommend that you gry to get a group together and take a location for a day. Get some friends together and take one or two shifts with another of your friends. We provide all of the equipment and supplies. We also provide a sign identifying your group to the general public.
Please know that volunteers are vital in this area. If we do not have volunteers to man locations, we have to hire people to make sure the best locations. In addition, volunteers normally raise 3 -4 times the amount of funds as a paid worker.
This is a great community service project for school clubs and groups, church youth groups, Sunday School classes, fraternal organizations, etc. We have all the materials to help you coordinate and organize the group. A speaker is available if you so desire.
