Partners in Doing the Most Good

The Salvation Army has changed lives and given hope to countless people throughout the nation. But it never does it alone.

“What is the essence of life? To serve others and to do good.”

-Aristotle

The Salvation Army in Bradenton has both seasonal and year-round opportunities for volunteerism that allow you as an individual, your family or a group to “Do the Most Good.” While some may look for a face-to-face interaction with those we serve, others may prefer to be more “behind the scenes” in their volunteer efforts. Fortunately, we can accommodate both.

Year-round

  • Emergency Disaster Services
  • Community dinner
  • Youth enrichment for children at family shelter
  • Youth programs

Seasonally

  • Angel Tree toy shop sorting and distribution (Ages 15+ Please; December)
  • Ring bells at our red kettles (Any age as long as children are accompanied by an adult; November and December)

Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) team

  • This often means serving meals or passing out bottled water to first responders and disaster victims. EDS team volunteers can elect to receive short assignments, such as two hours in your community or a longer assignment that could require travel to another state for up to two weeks. Please visit our EDS website for more information on the EDS volunteer program, including training requirements.

Special Projects

  • At times, we do have special projects that require the assistance of a volunteer. If you are already on our volunteer roster, you may be called to see if you are available to help.

Other ways to help:

  • We receive calls from groups who would like to do a service project on our behalf. We welcome these calls and accommodate when possible.
  • Sponsor a drive to support basic shelter needs.
  • During the holiday season, host an Angel Tree at your business, club or church.

For more information on our volunteer opportunities or to complete an application, please call 941-757-5770.

The fine print: In most cases, volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. Minors may volunteer when accompanied by a parent in some holiday positions. All new volunteers are expected to complete an application and meet with the volunteer coordinator for a one-on-one tour of our campus.

Ongoing opportunities are designed for those who want to get involved on a regular basis. We’ll know you by your first name, and you’ll get to know the people in our programs. These include activities like working with youth, using your professional skills or serving after a disaster strikes.
