Salvation Army Commanding Officer Lt. Jennifer Gram says this is just one small thing they can do to give back but to keep it up they need the community’s help.

“We’re just excited to be apart of the community that we are helping. I just want to give this plug that we are down to our last three days of Kettle our Kettle season. So please stop by those kettle so we can keep these efforts going,” says Graham.
