businesses, organizations and shoppers to donate to the Red Kettles on the last

more, something that involved my family and the family business. What we’re

Salvation Army’s work because it’s
important.” Salvation Army Captain Steven Wilson says that donations to
the
Salvation Army Red Kettles help meet local needs that come in increasingly
