| The Salvation Army Tidewater Area Command will put out its iconic red kettles every Saturday during the month of July to raise funds to support the programs and services it offers throughout the year. “There are so many folks out there in need of our services,” said Major Lewis Reckline of The Salvation Army. “It’s important that we continue search for and find new ways to support our growing client base.” |
During the 2011 Christmas in July campaign, The Salvation Army has set a goal of $25,000 to be raised in support of its programs and services. With an additional $25,000, The Salvation Army can send children to summer camps, provide backpacks and school supplies to children in need, provide shelter, meals and resources to the homeless and begin purchasing items to provide at Christmas.
"During the summer our donations typically decline," said Major Reckline. "With requests for assistance increasing and Christmas around the corner, it's as important as ever that the public be aware of how they can support those in need."
This will the third year that The Salvation Army Tidewater Area Command has run the Christmas in July campaign and the second year that volunteer bellringers will ring at local Harris Teeter stores.
