Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign Starts

Salvation Army officials gathered at Bronner’s  CHRISTmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth Thursday to kick off this year’s Red Kettle campaign which runs through Christmas Eve.

Bronner’s presented a check for $10,000 to get things started. Organizers say this year’s goal is $1,700,000 not only for Christmas presents, but also to help some 72,000 people meet necessities year round like food, clothing and shelter.

The campaign covers Bay, Saginaw, Midland, Shiawassee and Genesee Counties.
