Emergency Disaster Services (or EDS) volunteers join The Salvation Army in providing physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort and support wherever and whenever disaster strikes. As an EDS volunteer, you may help serve food from canteens, speak with grieving victims, or perform other duties to assist in disaster recovery and clean-up efforts. EDS volunteers are the kind faces and helping hands that support police, firefighters and other first responders while assisting families and communities to recover from floods, fires, and other tragedies. EDS volunteers provide invaluable services to people during times of critical need. As an EDS volunteer, your assistance will only be needed during times of emergency which is why The Salvation Army ia looking for volunteers who are available at a moments notice.
The Salvation Army West Central NJ Region is looking to develop two teams of five individuals who will work a three day shift and in turn the next team Will serve as a relief team for three days which will continue until no other assistance is needed.
Let The Salvation Army know your interest and once the the two teams are in place, you will be contacted as to when a Emergency Disaster Training will be held.
