As the song silver bells rings through the air it is once again time for the annual Salvation Army Kettle Campaign. This year, The Salvation Army is providing two opportunities for you to greatly impact the community while promoting your business. Without even spending a cent, you can have a sign put on a kettle stand for an entire day where every customer to that store will see the sign and your support of this community. This great positive free advertisement only requires your business to adopt a kettle site for an entire day where you provide people to ring the bell spreading your business and holiday cheer. Sites are available at Sams Club, WalMart, Dillards, JcPenny, Safeway, Bashas, Walgreens, and Big Lots now through December 24th. To take advantage of this wonderful opportunity contact Lt. Ryan at least 10 days in advance of your desired day at the office 928-774-1403, cell 907-632-2420, or email ryan.miller@usw.salvationarmy.org . Or, without taking more than a few minutes, for your generous tax deductible donation of sponsoring a kettle site or the entire kettle campaign a sign will be placed on the appropriate kettle stands. Site sponsorships range from $900 to $8,000 and the entire kettle campaign sponsorship is $50,000. Contact Lieutenant Ryan Miller for details.
The annual kettle campaign started over 100 years ago to raise money to support those in crisis. Every year, The Salvation Army in Flagstaff provides hope and support to over 5,000 people meeting their needs and directing them back to wholeness and self-sufficiency. People like John who struggled for years with addictions and anger issues and now through the support and guidance of The Salvation Army is a successful business owner in Flagstaff and a great supporter of this community. By volunteering to ring the bell or through slipping money into the kettle this holiday season you make it possible for The Salvation Army to help people like John as well as the other more than 1,500 families who receive assistance every year with items such as back to school clothing and supplies, holiday meals and children gifts, utility and food assistance, emotional and spiritual care, as well as clothing and furniture from our thrift store.
