Volunteer Opportunity The Salvation Army Harrisburg Capital City Region, 1122 Green Street, Hbg, PA 17102

Give Back and Help Feed the Hungry! Did you know that The Salvation Army (TSA) Harrisburg Capital City Region provided 79,889 food assists to the community last year? Through TSA’s partnership with the Harvest food donation program, food that would otherwise have gone to waste at area restaurants is collected and used in TSA’s food assistance programs. These donations mean that TSA’s funds can go farther and more can be done for those in need. All Harvest donations are collected by volunteers using their own vehicles. We are always in need of new drivers and will provide training and support as needed. Needed Immediately: Reliable, volunteer drivers to join our team in picking up weekly food donations for TSA feeding programs. Volunteers should have a valid PA Driver’s License.
