Salvation Army Bell Ringing Sign-Up starts NOW!

Ring The Bells! with the Salvation Army

We will soon be hearing those bells ringing for The Salvation Army very soon...and we will be part of that fun again this year!

Did you know that an average amount of money that is brought in through the ringing the red kettle bells is over $50/hour?  This money helps residents in our area that are in need.  

Sign-ups have started to pick a time when you can help raise money for The Salvation Army!  Look for the sign-ups at the registration tables at the next meeting or sign up online now.

Here are the details on The Salvation Army Bell Ringing:
  • Find a time frame that works for you and your family
  • You can sign up as a parent/child (2 people), a parent/child pair or trio (3 people max) or a group that is a maximum of 5 people.  Someone must always be with the AHG child during this event.
  • Time to ring bells is 30 minutes.  
  • The location that we have is for Hobby Lobby.  This location is in their lobby, between the inside doors and the outside doors.  You won't be standing out in the cold but you may get a little breeze every now and then as the doors open.
  • Uniforms should be worn...and bring gloves or a long sleeve shirt/sweat just in case you get a little chilly.

Parents, sign-ups start now...
so if any of these days and times work, please e-mail Jessica at mominmn@gmail.com with what your family would like to do and how many people will be ringing during that time.  We will keep this page updated with the times available and will be as fast as possible with any changes that occur.  We will also have this list available at the meetings in late October/November at the AHG table.
