It's Your Donation That Makes The Difference
The Salvation Army's dedicated staff works tirelessly to serve those in need. But all of their efforts would not be possible if it were not for your caring and concern. Just as the needy rely on The Salvation Army, so The Salvation Army relies on the community to provide the necessary support to continue its many services and programs. We constantly strive to make the best use of your contributions. We trust that you will continue to join with us as we remain committed to meeting human needs in Jamestown and Chautauqua County.

Kettle Opportunities
During the Christmas Season, The Salvation Army of Jamestown New York is very actively engaged in the most widely recognized fund raising activity known- The Red Kettle effort.  Are you interested in joining over 1,400 volunteers who stand and ring the bells around the Jamestown area?  Churches, Businesses, Civic and Athletic groups, and individuals all support this worthwhile endeavor.  If you would like to support The Salvation Army you can do so by calling (716)664-4108 and sharing your name and available time, that you can stand.  Thank You!
