How to Volunteer in Troy for the Holidays

Volunteering in Troy is a great way to give back to others and spread holiday cheer and warmth in your community.

Donating your time or giving a special holiday gift to a family or child in need can make a big impact.

There are lots of ways to help make the holidays truly special for those who are less fortunate. You can pack a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child, adopt a family through The Salvation Army or donate to Toys for Tots.

Here are a few places that are in need of holiday volunteers around Troy:
