The ringing of The Salvation Army bell is not just a sound of a bell...it’s the sound of curing hunger, the sound of Christmas to a child in need, the sound of a safe place for our neighbors to sleep. It is the sound of help, hope and comfort to our neighbors when they need it most during the holidays and beyond.
