Bell Ringing was a Success

The Bell Ringing this past Saturday was a success! We raised funds for the Salvation Army Human Need Fund. Every dollar collected goes to support the Salvation Army's year-round social service programs. This includes housing, food, youth development, behavioral health, older adult services, material assistance, and anti-human trafficking. Here are some pictures. You can view more pictures on our share site here and on our Facebook Page here.
