The Salvation Army - Milwaukee County

Now in it's 27th year, The Salvation Army Christmas Family Feast is the largest public feeding event in the country on Christmas Day.  Over 8,800 meals were served in 2015 by 1,600 volunteers whose time totaled 5,571 hours.

Be a part of this year's event--register* as a volunteer today!

*We regret that unregistered volunteers can not be accepted for this event, but will instead be redirected to enjoy a meal as a guest of the 2016 Christmas Family Feast.

It takes an army of volunteers to sort, hang and distribute the donated winter garments received from the community for our Coats for Kids program. 

Be a part of doing the most good this year by signing up to help out with this program at our Distribution Center located at 5880 N. 60th Street.

The Salvation Army donates approximately 5,000 gifts for children of incarcerated parents. Volunteers are needed for packing and shipping. We need volunteers to assist with the data entry and mailing process, toy wrap prep and The Big Wrap and The Big Ship. This program runs  across 4 days in the month of November.

The Salvation Army, the U.S. Marines, WTMJ 620 and Kapco collect and distribute toys to children in the Greater Milwaukee area. This program allows parents to provide new toys for their children at Christmas. Volunteers donate toys, sort toys by age and gender, and set up and stock tables in preparation for distribution. During distribution week volunteers keep tables stocked and assist parents in choosing toys for their children.

Drive the Salvation Army Canteen truck for various events.
