With the number of families served by The Salvation Army Food Pantry increasing, we are in need of more volunteers to help guests "shop" for food. Volunteers guide guests around the food pantry, build relationships by talking about recipes and food, and assist guests in getting the correct amount of food for each family size.

Volunteers are needed Monday-Friday from 8:45-12:15. Commitments can range from once per week to once per month or two. We are flexible!

Come with your warm smiles and commitment to alleviating food insecurity and we will make sure you have a rewarding experience serving our community.

About The Salvation Army

Location:

PO Box 7047, 1887 Front St NE, 1865 Bill Frey Dr NE, Salem, OR 97301, US

Mission Statement

The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.

Description

The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 in England by William Booth, and his ministry as been spreading throughout the world ever since. The Salvation Army arrived in Salem, OR in 1886. For over 125 years we have been feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and helping the disenfranchised, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with shelter, food, and other basic needs. The Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center opened in the Fall of 1999.

Making all this run requires the help of hundreds of volunteers. Whether you volunteer once for a special event, or on an ongoing basis, we need people with willing hearts and cheerful attitudes to serve the Salem-Keizer community.
