Each year, The Salvation Army helps parents and guardians in our communities provide Christmas to children who may not have received gifts otherwise. This is done through our Christmas Toy Town- where we give the parents and guardians the opportunity to "shop" for their youth at our Christmas Shop. The gifts they choose from are new donated gifts or they are purchased with funds from generous donors. In the week our Christmas Shop is open, we help over 1,000 families supply Christmas gifts for their children. We are in need of volunteers to help us with sorting toys, stocking the Christmas Shop, hospitality hosts for the clients and for other volunteers, personal shoppers to assist the parents in the "shopping" process, and volunteers to help parents and guardians load gifts into their car.

InterServ has a need for drivers to deliver Mobile Meals. While drivers willing to serve on a regular basis are always needed, we also need volunteers who can drive on an "on-call" basis to cover vacations, illnesses, etc. It is also helpful to have volunteers willing to drive on the snowy/bad weather days, so a 4WD vehicle is especially appreciated. A typical route will take just over an hour. Must be at least 16 years of age. Must have reliable transportation and be licensed to drive. Must have a vehicle large enough to transport two coolers. The ideal volunteer should like older people and be able to talk with them briefly when delivering their meals.

InterServ serves families and individuals in our community every day by providing them with a few days of food to help them stretch their food dollars. We have donations coming in regularly that need to be sorted and organized, then stocked onto the food pantry shelves. Can you lift up to 50 pounds and work independently? The best time for helping is midday, but there is always something to be done all day long in the food pantry at Calvin Center! This could be a once per week opportunity, or a consistent M-F one. Volunteers need to be 16 or older, reliable and possess good communication skills. The ability to lift up to 50 pounds is also necessary.
