Heart to God, Hand to Man

When they say leaders are not born but made, they are undoubtedly talking about people who volunteer. Besides offering an opportunity to express or nurture leadership abilities, volunteering for The Salvation Army helps stretch financial contributions further and quite literally makes possible our many programs and services.

Be a stand-out member of your community by helping The Salvation Army improve the lives of our less fortunate neighbors. You, your family, friends and coworkers can help:

Kettle Workers
Help us celebrate Christmas with The Salvation Army's Red Kettles. Greet shoppers as they fill the kettles this season with their contributions to help Clark County's most needy. Kettles are located at grocery and retail stores throughout the county. If you can spare a few hours, sign up today.

Corporate, school, church and family teams are welcome.
--set-up inventory
--assemble and match gifts to their recipients
--pack food boxes
--organize toys and clothes

To help, call Steve at (360) 892-9050

Toy Drives
NEW toys are needed each Christmas to fill the wish lists of many children who otherwise would have no toys. The Salvation Army is not able to fix used or broken toys and therefore cannot accept them for Christmas distribution. If your organization or company is interested in conducting a Toy Drive call Steve at (360) 892-9050

Angel Trees
In your office, church, club or place of business-anywhere you put up a Christmas tree for friends and co-workers during the Holiday Season-you can decorate with The Salvation Army Angels.

Each Angel has the name and age of a child in need. It also has the child's sizes and gift suggestions.

Employees or club/church members choose Angels, purchase indicated gifts and return them wrapped and labeled. A representative then calls The Salvation Army to collect the gifts for distribution. Participants retain the Angels as a reminder of the children who benefit.

To help our Angels "keep watch over children in need," please call Sally at (360) 892-9050.
