“I wanted to write and thank you for allowing for me to do my community service with the Salvation Army.  I have had an exceptional experience working with the staff as well as the other volunteers. It is absolutely amazing what can be accomplished when a group of people stand up and decide to help.”

The Salvation Army could not continue
to function without the help of our committed
team of volunteers. Major Vick likes to call them
“The Army behind The Army”. 

Whether its serving a meal, sorting donations, picking
up trash or mentoring a young person, there are regular opportunities for individuals and groups.
