The Christmas season is upon us and the bell ringers will be continuing their collections around the area. The Salvation Army is always open to volunteer help to aid in ringing the bell for a good cause. Various businesses all over town will be active for collection with little kettles. If you are a local business and would like to compete in this year’s local ring off please contact (573) 210-1229.

Bell ringing started November 27th and goes through Christmas Eve at Noon at Potosi Wal-Mart. If you would like to sign up as an individual or as an organization please contact (573) 210-1229.

The Salvation Army has donated over $10,000 to the community through local projects such as the back to school fair, donations to local food pantries and other community assistance.
