    Description

    The Salvation Army Des Plaines - Bell Ringers

    Greet holiday shoppers and help spread the joyful Christmas spirit! We are looking for individuals to donate their time by ringing bells next to our famous red kettles.

    As a Bell Ringer, you will be a part of the tradition that represents hope and joy to many throughout our community. Whether you're with a friend, family, co-workers, or classmates, all are welcome at any of our hundreds of kettle locations. The funds collected help provide food, clothing, and emergency assistance to our neighbors all year round.

    Volunteers are needed Mid November until Christmas Eve. 2-hour time slots are available between the hours of 10:00am – 8:00pm.

    We welcome you to sign up for as many shifts and locations as you would like, but we ask that you please uphold your commitment. If you are unable to make a shift, 24-hour notice is appreciated.
