(Corps/program) ·∙ (Address) TEL (xxx) xxx-‐‐xxxx; FAX (xxx) xxx-‐‐xxxx; email www.salvationarmy-‐‐socal.org [Insert Date] Dear Friends and Neighbors, The [Insert your division] of The Salvation Army would like to [thank you for your past support of our ministry] [invite you to participate in The Salvation Army’s most important fundraiser of the year] [thank you for your interest in volunteering this Christmas]. A few days from now, the sound of the tinkling bells will be heard from near and far throughout our community. This once-‐‐a-‐‐year fundraiser is vital to The Salvation Army’s efforts to provide [XXX] food baskets to hungry families, eviction prevention and utility assistance, as well as toys for children and teens that would otherwise go without. Thanks in part to volunteers like you, The Salvation Army is recognized as one of the most efficient organizations in the world. We truly need your help with volunteer bell ringers or what we like to call Christmas Ambassadors! Christmas Ambassadors will ring for [two hour] [four hour] shifts. Kettles are out Monday through Saturday from [Insert Beginning Date until End Date.] We encourage volunteers to play instruments, sign carols, and spread the joy of the season! It is vital to the success of the program for the entire [Insert your city] community that volunteers step forward and help those in need. I’d be happy to speak with you about our programs and volunteer positions. To reserve your Christmas Ambassador volunteer time slot today, call [Insert name] [Insert position] at [XXX-‐‐XXX-‐‐XXXX]. Thank you for keeping The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign in your prayers this Christmas, as well as for your consideration in volunteering with us. All of us at the [Insert your division] of The Salvation Army wish you a very Merry Christmas and Prosperous [Insert coming year]! God bless, [Insert name]
Paperwork Protocol Volunteers Vs. Paid Kettle Workers As many of you are aware, there is a substantial amount of paperwork involved during the holiday season, especially as it relates to volunteers and paid kettle workers. It is important that you follow the following procedure for both: Volunteers One time volunteers can fill out the simple application attached to this section. Keep this application for your files, no need to send to DHQ. Volunteers who decide to work more than one day must fill out the standard volunteer packet. Contact Human Resources at DHQ for the most up-‐‐to-‐‐date paperwork. Paid Workers The procedure for acquiring and activating the paid kettle worker is more involved. To make this process as streamlined as possible, it will be necessary for you to contact Human Resources at DHQ for the most up-‐‐to-‐‐date paperwork. Thank you for your cooperation on this matter! 1k. Kettle Worker Paperwork
