The Salvation Army of Conway needs holiday volunteers to help with its Christmas programs. 

Volunteers can help in many ways, including:
  • Bell Ringers for Red Kettles
  • Help with setting up Toy Shop and Distribution
  • Assist at The Salvation Army Family store:
  • Answer phone
  • Sort food and clothing donations
  • Pickup and delivery of contributions
Christmas is an extremely busy time for the Salvation Army, which works to make the holidays bright for the less fortunate in the community.

Lt. Jamie Clay, Corps Officer, says civic and service organizations are particularly effective bell ringers, since the members of the community are generally known in the communities The Salvation Army serves. The Salvation Army of Conway serves Faulkner, Cleburne, Perry and Van Buren counties.

Businesses and high school clubs or organizations are encouraged to participate as a service project as well. Kettles as well as other tasks may be adopted for a day, a weekend, a few hours, or longer. Volunteers may work in shifts to accommodate schedules.

To volunteer, call the administration offices at (501) 329-1712 or the Family Store at (501) 329-3158.

All financial donations to The Salvation Army of Conway remain in the area served.  Donations may be mailed to P. O. Box 1176. Conway, AR  72033.
