Soon, the jingle-jangle of Salvation Army red kettles will announce the start of the Christmas season.
Bell-ringing volunteers are very much needed.
All funds raised stay in the local area for a wide range of good deeds that make the holidays brighter for people in need.
Those who cannot ring bells can still help out by setting up a fundraising page as part of the Give Christmas Away campaign.
Those who want to volunteer as bell-ringers should go to: salvationarmynorth.org/community/st-cloud.
Businesses that would like to participate in a “kettle match” campaign can find out more information by contacting Shannon Smithers at: [email protected] or call Shannon at 257-7437.
People are always welcome and encouraged to donate online at: salvationarmynorth.org/community/st-cloud.
