Support Kettle Campaign
Dear Editor,
As cuts in social services take a toll on the poor -- particularly in our rural community -- the Salvation Army Service Extension Unit in McCook/Red Willow County is asking for our community's support. Ninety percent of funds raised through the Kettle Campaign will stay right here in McCook/Red Willow County to provide children the opportunity to attend a summer camp, help families with utility assistance, or aid community residents in time of a natural disaster. The Salvation Army's McCook/Red Willow County Service Extension puts Christmas Kettle funds to work -- right here -- all year long. We expect an even greater demand for services this year, and need your support more than ever.
By offering your time to bell ring individually, as a business donation, service organization activity or with a personal contribution next year can mean a brighter future and renewed chance for many McCook/Red Willow County residents. If you are able to bell ring Dec. 10 to Dec. 23, or have any further questions, please contact Traci Taylor, coordinator, at
May God bless you!
Sincerely,
Pastor Steven F. Bales,
Bell-Ringing Chairperson
Salvation Army Service Extension Unit of McCook/Red Willow County
