The holiday season is one of the busiest seasons at The Salvation Army of Milwaukee County and we could not do what we do without you! Whether you have a few hours to spare, want to volunteer with your family, or are seeking ongoing opportunities, there are many ways to get involved.
Bell Ringing Volunteer Opportunities
The easiest way to help from early November through Christmas Eve is one of our most well-loved traditions: the Red Kettle Campaign. Each holiday season, volunteers ring bells at kettle locations across Milwaukee County to raise critical funds that support year-round programs. Be part of this impactful tradition and spread holiday cheer while making a real difference. Explore dates and locations here.
Volunteer at Our Worship & Community Centers
