Bell ringers needed
Ring in the season as a volunteer bell ringer for the Salvation Army Port Clinton Service Center’s annual Red Kettle Christmas Campaign. This year’s campaign will run through Saturday, Dec. 24.
In one bell-ringing shift, volunteers will provide up to six gas cards, one tire, one utility bill, a portion of rent, three coats, two days of summer camp for one child, one month’s prescriptions or other emergency services for local families and individuals in need.
All proceeds from the Red Kettle Christmas Campaign remain in Ottawa County.
Volunteers are encouraged to sign up for two-hour bell-ringing shifts, and organizations, congregations, and businesses are encouraged to Adopt-a-Kettle for a day by providing bell ringers for five two-hour shifts.
“Adopting a kettle is a wonderful way to give back to your community and a great advertising tool for your business or organization,” Kami Sayre, Port Clinton Service Center director said.
To volunteer or obtain more information, call the Salvation Army Port Clinton Service Center at 419-732-ARMY
