MONROE — The Salvation Army in Green County is seeking funds to help people who continue to struggle across countywide communities.

In response to needs of neighbors who face poverty, unemployment and rising expenses, Salvation Army in Green County has launched its annual campaign, called “Share Your Blessings, Be Blessed.” 

Its goal is to serve as a reminder of the joy that comes from helping those in need.

Locally, The Salvation Army in Green County hopes to raise $30,000 to help sustain vital programs and services that help people in need in their daily struggle for survival. All donations stay local to help with needs such as rental assistance, emergency lodging and utility payments.

The Salvation Army’s time-honored Christmas campaign will include highly visible Red Kettles — a holiday tradition that has served as a symbol of goodwill for more than 100 years.

This holiday season is expected to be one of the busiest yet. Salvation Army officials stress that any contribution will help — and donations of time are accepted as gratefully as donations of money.

To volunteer to Bell Ring this Christmas season, contact Matt at 608-558-6978 or signup online at www.registertoring.com.
