There are other ones around Christmas. There is Toys for tots and Secret Santa. Some churches other than the Salvation Army have it too.
Most people first think of the Salvation Army because of the Red Kettle and bell ringers plus the Angel Tree inside the store, but there are other organizations that help out too.
I just loved the bell ringers and brass bands. Stuffed all my year’s contribution plans into those kettles. Without them, it’s not the same. They were already going to automated recordings, so it was less of a pain walking by than I thought it would be. Besides, people take care of tots. We need more people taking care of pups.
