Be A Bell Ringer for The Salvation Army! 

Bell ringing season starts in November and runs through Christmas Eve. Volunteers are key to making the difference between an empty kettle and one that raises about $30 per hour – enough to provide a family with two bags of groceries, or shelter an individual for a night. And the money at each kettle stays in the community where the kettle is located – helping individuals in your community.
