The Salvation Army Prepares for 2008 Red Kettle Campaign,

Busy Holiday Season

We need you!  Your support of the red kettle kick-off event and the ongoing campaign during the holiday season is extremely important to our community - especially so this year.  Nearly half of the operating support for The Army’s programs and services is generated through this annual holiday fundraising drive.  This year's campaign goal is $586,000.  This is an increase of more than 10% over last year's final count of $526,000.

As always, your help is also needed with the many volunteer opportunities available in November and December.  View our needs and register for opportunities right online or contact volunteer manager Debra Applebee at 364-9131 ext 107.  Opportunities include bell ringing, helping with special events, collecting and sorting toys, assisting in the kitchen, helping with Christmas registration and more.
