Packer and Bear fans – come out and show your true colors and support the local Salvation Army on December 20th

 

[December 14, 2021] 

On Monday, December 20th, football fans have the opportunity to show their "true colors" while supporting a very good local cause.

From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Lincoln Salvation Army Red Kettle bell ringers will be at the new Farm and Home Store (formerly Big R) on the west side of town for its first day of business. There will be TWO buckets at the door, one for the Green Bay Packer fans and one for the Chicago Bears fans.

The final cash count in each bucket will reveal which team is the most beloved in Logan County!

The ringers will be wearing Packer and Bear swag and will be urging you to drop in big money based on just how big a fan you truly are.

Rachel Oney of the Lincoln Salvation Army said that it will be a fun way to raise funding for local programs. She is hopeful that shoppers who visit the new store will drop dollars in the buckets as they pass by.

The local Salvation Army aims to raise $30,000 in this year's Red Kettle Campaign. Right now, they are far short of reaching that goal.

This year, it is even more critical that the campaign reaches its goal. The funds raised will go toward food, utility, and rent assistance for those in need in Logan/Mason County in the coming year, and the demand for these services is great.
 

The Salvation Army also needs bell ringers for the Packer/Bear competition as well as throughout the rest of the season.

If you have time to ring the bell for Salvation Army, please call 217-732-7890 or go online to schedule your time at registertoring.com https://www.registertoring.com/default.aspx
