The Salvation Army in Winner will be dusting off their red kettles in preparation for their traditional Christmas kettle campaign. Bell ringers have been a familiar site at the Shopko in Winner and kettles placed at several area businesses throughout the Christmas season.
The bell ringing season will kick off on Nov. 24 at Shopko in Winner and run through Dec. 24.
A total of 90 percent of the funds raised during the campaign stay in the Salvation Army Winner unit to assist families.
Last year more than 124 people received assistance from the Salvation Army in Winner and Tripp County. All funds raised are used locally for services such as a disaster due to fire, aid to residents, groceries and special projects that benefit the community youth and members. The Salvation Army Winner unit distributed 132 backpacks to area youth and schools.
The bells will be run Monday through Saturday and there will be no bell ringing on Sunday. The time for bell ringing will be 10 a.m. to as late as 8 p.m.
Organizations can pick a day and split it up into shifts among the members.
Persons can contact Shana Flakus at 842-2736
