An organization synonymous with the spirit of the holidays and collecting donations for families needing emergency assistance is looking for bell-ringing volunteers. The Salvation Army Service Extension of Door County seeks people to become an integral part of the annual Red Kettle Campaign. Needing to fill over 500 shifts from November 19 through December 24, Ringer Coordinator Nancy Kexel-Calabresa says volunteers can sign up for as many hours or shifts at any of the five locations throughout Door County.
The monies raised during the Red Kettle Campaign helps with the Emergency Services for Door County’s “Neighbors in Need” program. That program helps assist families with food, rent, utilities, gym shoes and coats for children, and other emergency needs. If you would like to learn more about becoming a bell ringer this holiday season, contact Nancy Kexel-Calabresa by phone or text - at 920-883-7886 - or email nakc1@icloud.com. Any families seeking assistance through the Salvation Army may call the emergency hotline at 920-885-1260.
