(KNSI) — The local Salvation Army Corps is kicking off its Red Kettle Campaign this Friday, November 13th.
With the help of Primerica Financial Services and KNSI sister station 99.9 Lite FM, bells will be ringing, and there will be goodies, including cookies and hot chocolate at the Coborn’s in Sauk Rapids. The event runs from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
All donations stay local, helping the St. Cloud Salvation Army support families and those in need. The campaign begins as demand for help grows. Food pantry assistance at the Salvation Army food shelf rose 35% in August, and dozens more families are seeking help each week.
The bell-ringing effort aims to raise $150,000 of a $600,000 holiday-season goal. People can also give online or sign up to ring a bell through the Salvation Army website.
