Salvation Army administrators also said the organization will never call asking for money, and the mailer it sends out for donations is clearly identified. “So, we’re getting a couple here and there, but they start one day and then they quit, because it’s boring”. “Part of the reason is volunteers often only do a two-hour shift versus a paid worker can work much longer hours”, Bliven said. “If you play a musical instrument, bring that, ‘” Schweigert said.

Does their enthusiasm make you want to give more?

Bell-ringing shifts are only two hours, and Duluth has more than 860 shifts available in its eighteen collection locations.
