Volunteer opportunities are available throughout the holiday season with the Salvation Army. You can sign up to ring the bell while collecting Red Kettle donations during the holiday fundraising drive. The money collected pays for holiday meals among other programs that last all year.
With the Humane Society, you can sign up to make DIY pet toys, then drop them off to help the animals have a more enriched experience this holiday season.
Father Joe's Villages is the largest rehabilitation program for the homeless in San Diego. Each year, more than 10,000 San Diegans donate their time. Individuals, families, religious organizations, community groups, military, corporations and anyone over 10 years of age can volunteer.
