Even though it’s religious, I think this is one of the really great charities with a great story. But I’m just not seeing the kettles this Christmas. Good to know there are still some around.

What I Learned Ringing the Bell
By Mark Deutschle
When I was a kid working at a grocery store. I’d bag and gather the carts. Had a big crush on the cute bell ringer girl. Found every reason to go get carts and help people load there car. They are out this season. I donate everytime I see one.
I come across S Army bell ringers often...Hobby Lobby, Karn’s supermarket, I think somewhere else, so far this season...could just be the businesses I frequent.
