Salvation Army celebrates Christmas in July

LIMA — The Salvation Army will carry on the annual tradition of Christmas in July. The red kettles will be held at all Chief and Kewpee locations this coming month. According to the Salvation Army, the Christmas in July campaign will run this year from July 11 through July 30.

The organization is looking for volunteers to ring the bell at one of the kettles. Kettles will be available Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Donations at these locations support the Salvation Army in reaching those in need, providing summer programs and assisting the community. For more information on volunteer opportunities or to schedule a time and location for the red kettle, contact Paul Downing at 419-224-9055 ext. 211.
