Volunteers urgently needed to support The Salvation Army’s Christmas initiatives
Paris, Texas (November 13, 2023)— While some may think it is still a little early to unpack the holiday decorations, The Salvation Army has been brutal at work, planning Christmas programs for several months. Now, as the red kettles are appearing outside stores and Angel Trees are up, volunteers are needed to help ensure our community’s men, women, and children in need experience the joys of Christmas.
The Salvation Army of Paris seeks volunteers for its Red Kettle campaign and Angel Tree program.
Major Jennifer Chisholm of The Salvation Army in Paris invites the community to get involved: “Come spend some time volunteering and make a meaningful impact on the lives of countless individuals this holiday season. We have volunteer opportunities tailored just for you, whether you can spare an hour, a morning, or a full day and come as an individual, family, or group.”
