Salvation Army Dusting Off Kettles & Ringing Bells
Thanksgiving is still 2 weeks away.
But an annual holiday-season tradition starts up for the year tomorrow.
The Salvation Army is sending out bell-ringers for the first time this season to raise money for the non-profit group.
So far, the Ishpeming Salvation Army has filled about 20% of its 2-hour shifts that run through Christmas Eve.
This marks the organization’s biggest fundraiser of the year.
Last year, the Ishpeming location raised about $22,000, and they’re aiming a little higher this year.
Capt. Chris Marques says they’re shooting for $23,000 this time.
If you’re interested in volunteering to bell-ring, you can call the Ishpeming Salvation Army at 486-8121.
