Job description

You may know The Salvation Army for our red kettles, our angel trees, and our strong presence during the Christmas season, but we support local families every season.

Put a present under someone’s tree today. And a roof over someone’s head tomorrow.

Help us carry the spirit of Christmas throughout the year.
