Major Donald Berry, New Jersey State Commander, The Salvation Army
You may pass a Salvation Army red kettle while holiday shopping at your local retail store or shopping mall. You may hear the ringing of a Salvation Army bell. If you see a kettle, please stop and place a dollar or some change in the kettle. When you do so, know that you are helping others.
Donations made at this time of year are crucial to The Salvation Army’s ability to serve the less fortunate. This year, with growing demand for help, it will be difficult to sustain holiday distributions of food, clothing and toys. But with the help of many, The Salvation Army will bring Christmas joy to New Jersey families in need and provide services throughout the year.
To learn more go to: www.salvationarmynj.org. If you have not seen a red kettle, consider giving your support to The Salvation Army’s online red kettle by going to www.onlineredkettle.org. Search for the “New Jersey (first name) State (second name)” kettle.
As our signs on the Garden State Parkway, Turnpike and billboards say – “Every Drop in the Bucket Counts — The Time is Now.”
Thank you for your support and may God’s blessings be with you and your family this holiday season.
