Volunteering

The Salvation Army has always relied heavily on volunteers in all of its programs. Often referred to as the army behind "The Army," volunteers play a crucial role to strengthen and extend services throughout the community.  Through your skills and experience, The Army is able to make a significant impact on the lives of area residents.

The Salvation Army has an incredible number of programs that serve the under-resourced of southern Minnesota.  Hundreds of area volunteers give tens of thousands of hours each year, right here in Olmsted County!  Browse current needs below.
