Salvation Army Red Kettle Bell Ringing Campaign

by

Danielle Garcia is helping coordinate volunteers for the Salvation Army Red Kettle Bell Ringing campaign here in Paulding County. She is currently looking for community groups who may be willing to help fill open volunteer spots this holiday season.

She wanted to reach out to see if any 4-H members, families, groups, or leaders would be interested in signing up to ring the bell this year. Bell ringing is a fun, meaningful service opportunity, and all hours count toward community service requirements. Even one hour is a huge help!

Dates: November 28th – December 23rd
Location: Chief Supermarket (indoors and warm)
Group-Friendly: Any number of volunteers can sign up together.

If your group/family is interested or would like more information, please feel free to contact her:
