Christmas season also brings the ringing of bells as The Salvation Army’s main fundraising tool for the year. The Salvation Army is facing another challenging holiday season to meet the increasing needs of people struggling to stay in their homes. The Salvation Army needs the help of a generous public to ensure Hope Marches On this holiday season and beyond.
In 2021, The Salvation Army Marinette has served 2,931 meals as well as provide food pantry, rent and utility assistance to over 5,000 people. Each coin and dollar put in a kettle adds up to help neighbors throughout the year. To volunteer to ring, sign up online at www.registertoring.com or call us at 715-735-7448. To help ensure the safety of bell ringers, donors and partners, The Salvation Army has adopted nationally mandated safety protocols.
