The Salvation Army of Hopkinsville is still in need of volunteers to ring the bells for the red kettle campaign this holiday season.
Everyone recognizes the red buckets manned by volunteers outside of local retailers, as the work to raise money to benefit the Salvation Army and the many services and programs they provide to those most in need in the community. Lt. Lindsey Galabeas says volunteers only go for an hour at a time, and that time can really fly as you work for a good cause.
She says you’ll be surprised at the generosity of the community, and you’ll have a chance to speak with those whose lives have been truly impacted by the Salvation Army.
Money raised goes to benefit multiple aspects of the Salvation Army, from the soup kitchen to the extreme weather center, where people can go to get out of the cold on dangerously cold nights.
Names continue to be available on the Angel Tree as well, where citizens can help make this Christmas a good one for those who need a little help this season. For more information, or volunteer or adopt a family on the Angel Tree, go online to the Salvation Army of Hopkinsville Facebook page.
