Agency: Salvation Army

Contact: Aaron Smith, 843-4188, ext. 102, or aaron_smith@usc.salvationarmy.org.

The Salvation Army is looking for kettle volunteers for a “Christmas in July” campaign. Volunteers will work at kettles at three locations. Gone are the bells, replaced by the sounds of beach-themed Christmas music. Organizers hope the holiday tunes will get people in the spirit of giving.
