Description:
Whether you or your business, church group, youth organization, sports club, or family. You may ring as long as you like, but we do ask that you ring at least a minimum of two hours. We encourage volunteers to take four hours or more as this helps The Salvation Army manage sites and volunteers more effectively. Find someone to share your shift with you. Bell ringing helps support our food pantry, it helps people with their rent, fuel, electric payments. We help people on life sustaining medication that can't afford to pay for it, and, of course, we have our shelters Domestic women and children and men.

Who & How
Volunteers Needed:
60
Special Requirements:
Unless it is otherwise noted you will be standing outside so dress appropriately!!! If it’s cold – bundle up! Wear lots of layers and especially good, comfortable shoes. Winter hats or ear muffs are essential and mittens are better than gloves. Some volunteers bring a small carpet square or rug to stand on to help their feet stay warmer and prevent sore back muscles. Quotes from bell ringers:
"I consider it an honor and a privilege to ring bells for the Salvation Army! I get to meet the nicest people from all walks of life. It's a great opportunity to interact with the public.
