For the entire month of November, Trading Places will be traveling around the region in search for jobs which give back to those in the community.

The Princeton Salvation Army in Mercer County is the second stop for this month.

Weppler began her day volunteering with a morning workout with seniors working to remain healthy and get their heart rate up.

Loretta Collins, the Senior Director for 20 years at the Princeton Salvation Army taught Weppler how to handle the group. "It's not like a job...We sing, we go on trips, we shop we do what we want basically."

Each day the group starts with an exercise workout and brain teasers. Collins and Weppler played Wheel Fortune with the group.

The day continued with a lunch time snack.

Collins urges others to help out and get involved, "It's getting to be our big season were going to need people to help ring bells. We need people to answer phones...all kinds of stuff."

Volunteers are always welcome to participate in many different jobs at the Princeton Salvation Army.
