Bell ringers needed

Volunteer Coordinator Susan Duncan is one of the Salvation Army bell ringers outside Walmart collecting money to assist those in need. All of the money that is collected locally stays here in Polk County and is administered by local volunteers to help mainly with utility bills and a few other needs that arise. In 2020 there were 333 families served and in 2021 there were 589 families served. The bell ringing began the day after Thanksgiving and will continue through Christmas Eve, every day except Sundays.

Many of the people who have put money into the kettles in Livingston say they are doing so because Salvation Army has helped them in the past when others did not. Besides donating in the kettles, you may also send a check to P.O. Box 2074, Livingston, TX 77351. Another option is contributing to the local Salvation Army account at First National Bank. You may also go to the website at www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/ to contribute and designate for Polk County. Please consider helping locally to Salvation Army for those in need.Courtesy photo
