Salvation Army Kettle Kick-Off November 12th, Front Royal Corps looking for volunteers to ring bells
The Salvation Army Front Royal Corps is gearing up for the annual Red Kettle Campaign, with the familiar cheerful bells ringing out in front of various store fronts throughout the Christmas season.
The much-anticipated annual Kettle Kick-Off event will be held on November 12th at 10 am in front of Rural King. The entire community is invited to this event; some even regard it as the unofficial start to the holiday season. The Front Royal Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon-cutting as part of the ceremony.
Funds raised throughout the Kettle Campaign go directly back to the local community to support those in need. From October 2020 to September 2021, the Front Royal Corps assisted 1,096 families with rent/mortgage assistance, utilities assistance, hygiene items, clothing, or food.
To be successful and provide this level of assistance, the Kettle Campaign relies on organizations to “adopt” days as well as individual volunteers. This year, those who would like to sign up can do so easily online at RegisterToRing.com. This website even allows you to sign up as a “virtual” bell-ringer, hosting a fundraiser online to garner support from your family and friends.
The Salvation Army Front Royal Corps supports the counties of Warren, Page, and Rappahannock, as well as the city of Strasburg.
For more information, contact Capt. Ann Hawk at 540-635-4020.
