The Salvation Army Calgary
Behind the Shield is more than just a name. It is a collective philosophy of what it means to volunteer with The Salvation Army.
In times of despair everyone needs an army - that's us. And for over a hundred years the driving force of that army has always been our volunteers who proudly stand with Behind the Shield.
Behind the Shield is not only where compassionate volunteers serve, it is where people find community and connection; where a smiling face brings hope and kindness to those who feel lost or forgotten and where lives are transformed through being understanding and through being understood.
By joining the Behind the Shield community, volunteers are committing to the belief no one should be alone in times of crisis - and they are ready to be there, without discrimination, for someone in need.
Behind the Shield means that together, we can Give Hope Today.
