Salvation Army Bell Ringer - You know you are going to meet them standing outside your favorite store this season. Be prepared - get your change out of that change holder, have your pocket change ready and make a difference.The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in 1865, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination for 128 years in the United States. Nearly 29 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. About 83 cents of every dollar raised is used to support those services in 5,000 communities nationwide. For more information, go to www.salvationarmyusa.org.

I'm made a "pact" with myself to not walk by one single Salvation Army bucket this year w/o donating money. The girls have enjoyed putting money in the bucket and one volunteer even offered the girls the chance to ring the bell!
