It is hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. The Salvation Army of Montgomery County is already thinking about this year’s annual Red Kettle Campaign.
The Salvation Army of Montgomery County is looking for volunteers to help manage small tasks during the Red Kettle Campaign. These may include kettle collection and distribution.

Volunteers are also needed to ring the bell at Kroger and Walmart. Ringing will start on November 15th and end on December 24th. Volunteers can sign up for 1 or 2-hour shifts. Churches, civic organizations, youth organizations, businesses, as well as individuals and families are encouraged to support the community by volunteering. Students needing community service credits can do so by ringing the bell. People interested can sign up at www.register2ring.com.
