7/13/13 - The familiar sight of the Salvation Armyâs red kettles and the sound of bells ringing will be heard at a variety of locations in the coming week. The Salvation Army of Livingston County has embarked on a new Christmas in July awareness and fundraising campaign to remind the community the need is there all year long, not just during the holidays. The new campaign kicked off Friday at Page Field near the Corps Lake Street offices in Howell with free food, activities and games. The new commanding officers, Lieutenants Tim and Julie Perkins, were able to meet with community members and encourage everyone to join in the fight and help serve those most in need as all of the funds raised go directly back into the community where needed most. The Salvation Armyâs Christmas in July week will run through Sunday, July 21st. Community projects and events are planned along with various fundraisers and volunteers are being sought, whether it's heading up a project or simply taking a couple of hours to ring a bell at a red kettle. Registration is also still underway for Clays for a Cause, which is a family-themed fundraising event at the Island Lake Shooting Range on Saturday, July 20th. Complete information about how to volunteer, donate or get involved can be found through the link below. (JM)
