RHINELANDER, WI (WSAU-WXPR) — The Salvation Army is urging people to sign up to ring bells for this year’s Red Kettle Campaign.
Amanda Jahn is the Salvation Army Service Representative for several Northwoods counties. She says kettles with ringers at them always collect more donations. “What I like about bell ringing is that you get to see, meet all types of people. You get to hear the stories of how the Salvation Army has helped them or family members in the past. It just makes me want to do it more.”
Jahn says 86% of everything that’s donated during the Red Kettle Campaign stays in the community.
That money is used to help people in emergencies like helping pay for rent, utility bills, or even fixing up a car.
All counties in the Northwoods need bell ringers.
