Salvation Army seeks volunteers for campaign

The Salvation Army is inviting local residents and businesses to help make a difference in the community by participating in its annual Red Kettle Campaign. Volunteers are needed to serve as bell ringers at local Walmart and Kroger locations throughout the holiday season.

The campaign will take place at the following locations:

• Walmart: November 20 through December 24, Monday through Saturday.
• Kroger: November 27 through December 24, Monday through Saturday.

Local businesses are encouraged to get involved in one of two ways: sponsor a kettle day with a $500 contribution or organize employees to volunteer as bell ringers at one of the participating locations.

Businesses that sponsor a kettle day will receive recognition through a sign displayed at the kettle location acknowledging their support, as well as recognition on the online kettle website as the sponsor for that day.

The Red Kettle Campaign is an important part of The Salvation Army’s efforts to provide assistance to individuals and families in need throughout the community. Every donation and volunteer hour helps support those who may be facing difficult circumstances, especially during the holiday season.

Community members and businesses interested in volunteering or sponsoring a kettle day can sign up online at salvationarmyvolunteer.org.

For additional information or questions about volunteer opportunities and business sponsorships, contact The Salvation Army at (260) 356-3485 or email normalene.daniels@usc.salvationarmy.org.

The Salvation Army encourages local businesses, organizations and individuals to join in the effort and help make the holiday season brighter for neighbors in need.
