Welcome to the Heartland Divisional Headquarters located in Peoria, IL. We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities including work with children, meal service, maintenance, and even administrative work just to name a few. Our campus here in Peoria is located on a city block between Jefferson and Adams and has multiple buildings each offering the public various programs - each program is in need of volunteer help! Without volunteers, we would not be able to do the work that we do.
The first step in becoming a volunteer is to complete a Volunteer Application. This application can be completed by clicking the button to the right. Once we receive a completed application, you will receive an email confirmation with next steps. If you are unable to complete the online version, you can pick up a paper copy from our main administrative offices located at 401 NE Adams St., Peoria, IL.
If you will be doing community service hours with us, please complete a Volunteer Application. You will then meet with our Volunteer Services Manager to go over all of your paperwork and get your assigned schedule for hours. Please have your community service paperwork faxed or emailed to us as soon as possible so that we can track your hours and submit them to your agency upon completion.

Annually The Salvation Army hosts a Thanksgiving Luncheon from 11:30am-1pm on Thanksgiving Day. This meal is served to nearly 200 homeless and less fortunate individuals of our community. Volunteers are needed in various roles including meal preparation, room decoration, and meal service.
The meal is served from our Sylvia Fites Family Service Center located at 414 NE Jefferson in downtown Peoria. Volunteer spaces are limited and given on a "first come first served" basis. All roles require the volunteer to have the ability of standing, walking, bending, etc. without any assistance for multiple hours at a time.
