Letter: 2020 Red Kettle Campaign means more than ever this year

To the Editor-

As all of you are aware, this coming holiday season is shaping up to be like none in recent memory.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taxed every aspect of our society. Unfortunately, the Salvation Hope Center in Stevens Point has also been impacted. The need for the services provided by the Salvation Army is at an all-time high, and the uncertainty the pandemic has brought has placed serious hardship on the resources needed to serve those most in need.

This year, the Salvation Army needs your help more than ever. If you have rung bells in the past, please do so again this year. And if not, please consider starting a new family tradition.

We will be following CDC guidelines as we ring: masks and limiting how many ringers per location.

We have bell-ringing locations throughout the metro area available now through December 24.

Volunteers can sign up on-line at RegisterToRing.com or call 715-341-2437. You can also “Like” the “Salvation Army Stevens Point” on Facebook.

Ringing bells teaches your children the true meaning of Christmas through helping others. And this year, we need to share our good fortune with those less fortunate more than ever.
