LAKE COUNTY — The Salvation Army in Polson has a proud tradition of bell ringing each Christmas season at RED kettles. The proceeds from kettles benefit Lake County’s people in need throughout the year. Thank you to the many donors for helping The Salvation Army carry out their mission of doing the most good. Each donation to an iconic Salvation Army RED kettle stays local to support Lake County neighbors - $.84 of every donated $1 goes directly to emergency services for Lake County individuals or families. These generous donations provide hope throughout the year.
This Christmas, The Salvation Army is happy to host our RED kettle campaign at local Walmart stores, Safeway stores, Pablo Foods in Polson and Rod’s Harvest Foods in Saint Ignatius. Other sites are welcome to participate. We are grateful to St. Andrews Church for partnering with us on this effort. Would you like to help? If you or a group of individuals are interested in volunteer bell ringing for The Salvation Army to serve people in need, please contact The Reverend Jocelyn Snider at 406.360.6152. Also, you can make an on-line contribution at: www.salvationarmyusa.org/usa-western-territory/northwest/. All donations remain local based on zip code.
Are you or is someone you know struggling to make ends meet? There is hope this Christmas season. The Salvation Army emergency assistance program for fuel, food, prescriptions, rent / utility assistance and lodging is available at the Missions Church, 406.833.1056 or admin@polsonmission.church.
