Volunteer for Christmas Cheer Registration

Help bring hope and joy to families in Central Ohio this Christmas.

Why Your Help Matters

Each year, The Salvation Army in Central Ohio serves thousands of families through our Christmas Cheer Toy & Food Program. Before we can distribute gifts and food boxes, we need to welcome and register families who are seeking holiday support.

That’s where you come in.

By volunteering at one of our five registration locations, you’ll help ensure that every child has the chance to experience the magic of Christmas and every family receives a warm, hearty food box this holiday season.

Questions? Contact Traig Traylor at Traig.Traylor@use.salvationarmy.org or 614.358.2627.
