"I love volunteering at the Salvation Army, I've been doing it for over a year now and couldn't imagine not doing it. I've met so many interesting" people had awesome experiences and have enjoyed every minute of it. I especially love working with all the kids, they have so much energy and are the most enthusiastic people to be around. I definitely plan to keep volunteering at the Salvation Army!" ~Michelle Jackson, Volunteer
