The Salvation Army of Summit County offers a wide variety of programs to persons in need across the county. With free groceries and hot meals, families and individuals can stay well nourished. Utility assistance is on hand to people who have a disconnection notice on their gas or electric. At the Child Development Center, preschool children learn basic skills necessary to enter and excel in kindergarten. The Learning Center, an academic after school program provides homework help as well as time for creative outlets. Children and youth participate in character building programs fostered through an array of recreational activities, music and spiritual guidance. Seasonal giving programs allow low income families to enjoy and celebrate the holidays with donated gifts and food. More than twenty thousand individuals are served through our centers in Summit County.

We still have a lot of opportunities between now and December 23rd to come out and ring bells to benefit the Summit County community.

Every volunteer that rings SAVES The Salvation Army from paying someone to go out to ring for us. That savings gets passed on to others in need in the form of a hot meal, a shower or a toy at Christmas.

We ring every day except Sunday and have shifts to ring during the following time frames

2 hours (10-12 PM or 4-6 PM)

4 hours (10-2 PM or 2-6 PM

8 hours (10-6 PM)

There are still many stores available the are allowing us to ring indoors! Still, what's wrong with a little cold? We're from OHIO!

Please reach out to help. Your time can help benefit the good people in needs here Summit County.
