 Kettles will also be set up at Kroger, IGA and Walgreens as
volunteers sign up.
In the past, churches, businesses, civic clubs and other
organizations have assisted with the kettle campaign, and Salvation
Army leaders are hopeful that a large number will choose to return
this year.
The Salvation Army is daily serving the needs of clients in Logan
and Mason counties, and the generous support of the community is
needed possibly more now than ever before.
This year, in addition to the bell ringing opportunities, there
are other programs that local folks can be a part of. Participating
in these programs is not only beneficial to the clients, it can be a
huge blessing to those who volunteer to help out.
One such program is the Adopt-A-Family for the holiday. This is a
program that is done anonymously. The Salvation Army will coordinate
sponsors for a family of their choosing. The family will then
benefit from the generosity of the sponsors, making for a brighter
holiday season for those in need.

Salvation Army will also offer a Pick-A-Day program for local
individuals, families, businesses, churches and other groups. In
this program the sponsors pick a day when they will match the
contributions raised by the bell ringers at a certain location. On
the selected day, the sponsors' names will be posted at the bell
ringing site so patrons can see that the sponsors are supporters of
the campaign.
The Salvation Army encourages you to be a part of this season of
giving in a very special way by giving a few moments of your time to
make a difference in the life of your neighbors.
