The Salvation Army needs our help!

Every year The Salvation Army distributes thousands of food boxes and toys to people in need in our community during Christmas.Our Volunteer Coordinator here at The Salvation Army approached me today, asking if our church could help with some volunteer needs that we have. December 22nd, (The Salvation Army's big Christmas Cheer Distribution) - from 6:00 - 9:00 pm - The Salvation Army needs at least 35 persons, pushing grocery carts full of food from the building to people's cars. There is also a need for people to do work inside the distribution center. This is pretty much a little bit of a crisis. I have offered our church's help many times - and haven't been taken up on the offer, becuase The Salvation Army has a large pool of volunteers that they already pull from. To have the volunteer corrdinator approach me on this, means she has already used all of our internal resources, and is in desperate need for help.Distribution is at the DeSalle Center at the fairgrounds. You will have the opportunity to have direct contact with people in need in this city. Dave and I helped do this a couple years ago, and it's a wonderful experience.If you are interested please e-mail me at:
