WELCOME TO THE SALVATION ARMY VOLUNTEER WEB SITE!
Volunteerism IS the Backbone of The Salvation Army!
The daily efforts of our volunteers result in more efficient service to those in need with greatly reduced cost. Because The Army and its Volunteers work so effectively, we provide MORE for LESS than any other Charitable Group in the Counrty! But, we think we can always do better.
Learn more about what The Salvation Army is doing in the metro area and how to change lives in your community with The Salvation Army. It is your commitment that makes the difference. You and The Salvation Army together, we "Do The Most Good" for the most people, in the most need.
The Salvation Army wants to take a moment to let you know you are appreciated. Together there is a measureable difference of caring in our local communities. Hear how lives are changed, one person or family at a time through your efforts.
