Manning a Kettle for The Salvation Army
In previous years, you might remember seeing volunteers standing outside of local businesses ringing a bell to collecting money for The Salvation Army. Now is the time to step up and volunteer! Due to Covid, they have only raised 48% of their goal in 18 days. The Salvation Army helps provide food and resources to the underprivileged in Howard County. To sign up to ring visit here.
