VOLUNTEERS: THE HEART OF THE SALVATION ARMY
PROGRAMS:
Volunteers urgently needed to support The Salvation Army's Christmas initiatives El Paso, Texas (November 2, 2023)— While some may think it is still a little early to unpack the holiday decorations, The Salvation Army has been hard at work, planning Christmas programs for several months. Now, as the red kettles are appearing outside stores, and Angel Trees are being set up, volunteers are needed to help ensure men, women, and children in need throughout our community experience the joys of Christmas.
The Salvation Army of El Paso is seeking volunteers for the Christmas Red Kettle campaign.
Myriam Guerrero, Advisory Board Vice Chair of The Salvation Army, invites the community to get involved: "Come spend some time volunteering and make a meaningful impact on the lives of countless individuals this holiday season. We have
volunteer opportunities tailored just for you, whether you can spare an hour, a morning, or a full day, and come as an individual, family, or group." Become a “Bell Ringer” for the Red Kettle! Every dollar collected in the Red Kettle supports The Salvation Army’s social services programs throughout the year right here
in El Paso. The campaign helps support community programs year-round, not just at the holidays.
To volunteer to ring the bell, serve holiday meals, or donate, visit

The Salvation Army annually helps nearly 24 million Americans overcome poverty, addiction, and economic hardships through a range of social services. By providing food for the hungry, emergency relief for disaster survivors, rehabilitation for those
suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, and clothing and shelter for people in need, The Salvation Army is doing the most good at nearly 7,000 centers of operation around the
country.
