The Salvation Army needs bell ringers to help collect funds to help neighbors in need.
Salvation Army Major Gerald Smelser said volunteers are on site for about two hours at a time, but can donate more time based on personal preference. Kettles are stationed Walmart and Kroger in Plymouth, Five Star in Knox, Bailey’s Discount Center in Knox, and additional sites in Bremen and Culver.
Members from church organizations, residents, business organizations, or school groups are welcome to participate. Bell ringers can volunteer from Saturday, Nov. 25 to Sunday, Dec. 24 in two hour shifts from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at a certain location. Hours during the weekend usually need filled, but if there are more volunteers, time slots may open during the week.
The money donated in the kettles helps provide food, rent and utility assistance to those in need throughout the year. It also helps send children to a kid’s camp and provides supplies for school kits for schools to distribute to less fortunate children, among other uses.
Call Major Smelser at (260) 519-5733 to volunteer.
