Kettle Volunteer Paperwork

It is REALLY important to fill in this form. It might seem long but we would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to complete it. The Salvation Army has chosen to encourage Kettle Volunteers to have signed certain necessary policies in an effort to keep both yourselves and those we serve safe. (There is also great training material and videos you can watch!)

If you have any concerns please contact Lisl on 250-554-1611 ext.203 or via email Lisl.Barnes@salvationarmy.ca.

Code of Conduct

Part of being a volunteer with The Salvation Army, is adhering to our Code of Conduct.

Please take the time to read it and let us know that you have.

Scheduling Yourself

Once registered on our website as a Kettle Volunteer, you will then be able to schedule yourself to volunteer.

Click on this link to log in. You will use your email address and chosen password.

Select the “Schedule” tab. Here you will be able to select Kettles from the “Filter” drop down menu, as well as which location you would like to volunteer at. Once you have selected that, you will be able to choose your preferred date. Anywhere where there is a green “opening”, you will be able to volunteer.

Once you have clicked on a calendar day a list of openings will appear. You can click on the name of the opening for more information about it. Click on “Schedule” to schedule yourself.

Once you have selected “Schedule”, you will be able to schedule yourself in a time slot. And just like that, you will be in our schedule. (By using the “Month” button, you can also view your own schedule.)

If at any point you are unsure about this process, please feel free to contact Dale, our Kettle Scheduler, on 250-819-0843 and he will walk you through it!

Posting your hours

We would greatly appreciate it, if you could post your hours once you have done a shift on a Christmas Kettle.

This helps us with our statistics and record-keeping.
