RED KETTLE BELL RINGERS NEEDED!!

The Red Kettle Campaign, along with the Angel Tree Program, is one of the most recognizable Christmas efforts of The Salvation Army. The Red Kettle Campaign was created in 1891 by Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee as a way to provide a Christmas dinner to San Francisco’s poorest individuals.

Since the campaign’s creation, the Salvation Army now provides assistance to more than four-and-a-half million people in the U.S. during Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Red Kettle campaign has also spread to other parts of the world, including Korea, Japan, Chile and many European countries.

This year, the need is greater than ever. We will be working with the Toys for Tots program as they transition their families into our Angel Tree program, doubling the number of children and seniors we serve during the holidays. Our community holiday dinner has also doubled in size to an expected 500 meals this year. These programs, as well as others, are funded through the Red Kettle Campaign.

WINTER SOLTICE 2017 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

We will be having our Winter Solstice, an annual celebration that highlights the history and culture of Native Americans in Florida and other southeastern states. Visitors from the North Florida area and beyond come to the Mission for this exciting two day event featuring Native American culture, music, crafts, demonstrations, living history reenactments, astronomy, and more. We are inviting tribes from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina to host informational booths and demonstrators of tribal culture. Native American musicians will be performing throughout the festival and a number of ceremonial dances will be held on site.

If you would like to volunteer for this event please email Amy at [email protected] (850) 222 0304.

APPLY NOW!

MARKET DAYS VOLUNTEERS Market Days is a premier, juried arts & crafts show containing 300 of the finest artisans around the country. It offers a wonderful array of works in various price ranges, and proceeds benefit the Tallahassee Museum. For both days of the event, we are seeking assistance with directing vehicles through the parking area. We are also seeking volunteers to survey guests, helping us to gauge the economic impact of this long running event.
