Volunteer with The Salvation Army in Aberdeen! Here are some areas where you can make a big difference:
Food Warehouse Volunteers – NALC Special project - Need individuals and groups to volunteer the third week of May to help sort food donations from the National Association of Letter Carriers food drive onto shelves. This is a great short term project that has lasting impact in our single largest food drive of the year. (2019 yielded approximately 15 pallets!)
Front Desk Receptionist – Be the first smiling face and friendly voice to people stopping by or calling our front desk. Some minor office work as well. Shifts from 3 to 4 hours throughout the week
Monday Morning Manpower - The Salvation Army Thrift Store benefits from a lot of donations over the weekends, outside of business hours. We need two or three strong individuals to help with initial receiving for 3 to 4 hours every Monday morning for the 2019 garage sale season. This will help get each week started on the right foot and help us, help others.
Thrift Store Volunteer – Do you like books? Clothes? Or do you love to find that one unique and memorable item? Help us sort, prep and tag these and many more items for the sales floor. These sales help to keep operational costs low so we may help more individuals in various ways. Volunteer shifts can be as little as two hours a week. Also a great opportunity for groups.
For more info or to sign up please call us at 605-225-7410 or email us at salvationarmyaberdeen@gmail.org. Thanks and God Bless You.
126 years! That’s how long people have been volunteering for The Salvation Army here in Aberdeen and the surrounding communities. You have been helping your community in so many ways it is hard to collect them all in a few short words. Everything from cooking and serving meals, sorting donated food and items, purchasing school supplies and Christmas gifts, ringing bells, helping neighbors in fires, floods and tornadoes, visiting with seniors with a monthly food box, and countless other ways.
We cannot continue to do this without your help! Would you consider taking the time to help us lift up our community? It could be 126 years but maybe 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm once a week (or even once a month) is most likely. Any and all assistance is most appreciated and will make impact beyond what one can see.
