The Salvation Army is looking for volunteers to assist with its 2014 Red Kettle Campaign, which kicks off November 14, 2014 and continues through December 24 every day except Thanksgiving and Sundays. This year, volunteers will be ringing bells at more than 8 locations in the community, including both WalMarts, HyVee, Kmart and Applemarket.

“Volunteers are critical to the overall success of our Red Kettle Campaign,” said Captain Chuck Cook. We encourage individuals, families and groups to sign up for a shift – it’s a fun, easy way to help those less fortunate in our community.”

To volunteer to be a Salvation Army bell ringer, please call LeeAnn at 816-232-5821 ext. 22

The money collected during the annual Red Kettle Campaign will support Salvation Army programs in St. Joseph the entire year. These programs include emergency rent and utility assistance, youth and senior programs and disaster response. The Salvation Army also provides holiday meals and gifts for families who might otherwise go without.

Anyone wishing to donate to The Salvation Army by credit card may call 1-800-SAL-ARMY. Checks may be mailed to The Salvation Army at P. O. Box 1417, St. Joseph, MO 64502.
