Jamestown (CSi) The Salvation Army is celebrating Christmas in July with the Red Kettle Campaign, July 22 & 23. Volunteer bell ringers will raise donations at Cash Wise Foods.

Major Judy Lowder says, “All funds raised stay local and support The Salvation Army programs that help area individuals and families who are struggling to maintain their homes, health, stability, dignity, and more all year long. With many facing hardships, the need to serve those most vulnerable is great. Meeting these needs is made possible by our donor’s kindness at the Red Kettle.”

Lowder says this year, they are in need of financial donations even more than usual.

Sh adds, “This past Christmas of 2021, we fell short of our goal by over $40,000,” she explained. “To help us recover we are having Christmas in July.”

The Red Kettles will be at Cashwise Foods. Volunteer to ring a bell by contact Major Lowder at 701-269-3930 or Judy.Lowder@usc.SalvationArmy.org to schedule.
