The Salvation Army of Archuleta County will launch its annual fundraising campaign on Nov. 24.
This year, volunteers from various organizations, churches and civic groups in our community will participate by cheerfully ringing bells and collecting donations for our iconic red kettle.
Bell ringing will take place daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays. Bell ringing will not take place on Thanksgiving Day.
As an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff, the Archuleta County Salvation Army has continually supported the less fortunate in our community through emergency shelter, substance abuse rehabilitation, prescription medication assistance, and family and newborn support. All decisions are made locally by our volunteers, allowing us to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the community.
Every donation makes a difference. As you pass by our red kettle this holiday season, please consider making a contribution. Your support helps us meet human needs throughout the year.
For more information about our red kettle initiative or to volunteer as a bell ringer, please contact Tom Bruin at (224) 730-7910.
