(Omaha, NE) -- The Salvation Army is in need of volunteers as we head into the holiday season.
The Salvation Army says for the first time in three years, they are resuming in-person registration for their Christmas Assistance (toy giveaway) programs. Starting Tuesday and going through November 11th, Christmas Assistance registration events will be taking place at various Salvation Army community centers around Omaha. The Salvation Army says many volunteers will be needed to staff those events.
Specifically, The Salvation Army says they need welcoming-crew volunteers to greet families in need as they arrive at our community centers; plus, they need application-intake volunteers to work the check-in tables there, guide people through the application process and explain the various assistance-program options. The sign-up events will be taking place as follows—and the Salvation Army needs volunteers to staff each one:
