RICHLAND CENTER, Wis. (WRCO / WRCE) - The holiday season is coming up soon which means shoppers will see volunteers ringing bells, and braving the elements, to help raise money for those in need. The Salvation Army will begin its Red Kettle Campaign, for the 2025 season, this weekend. Jay B Mueller has been the coordinator of the local campaign for several years.
The Salvation Army helps others with the money that generous donors put in each red bucket.
Volunteers will start ringing bells this Friday (November 14).
After seven years as coordinator Jay B. Mueller will be stepping down from that position, and a new coordinator will take over.
If you would like to be a bell ringer you can contact Kevin at 608-475-1519. For information on how to donate online to the Salvation Army, or if you are interested in becoming a board member, contact Christy Duhr at 608-475-9040.
