Almost 3.4 million people of all ages volunteered their time, talents, and resources to assist The Salvation Army’s work in FY 2012. Our volunteers are critical partners in helping us fulfill our promise to America of “Doing the Most Good”.
Many of our Salvation Army units across the country list their volunteer opportunities through Volunteer Match. To get involved, please visit the Volunteer Match website http://www.volunteermatch.org. and search with keyword “Salvation Army”.
