The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit is encouraging Michiganders to lend a helping hand, as the 2018 Red Kettle Campaign is in its last weeks.
The organization is reporting red kettle donations are down by nearly 20 percent. This year's fundraising goal is $8.2 million.
“With 14 percent of Michigan residents living in poverty, we simply can’t afford to miss making our goal this year,” said Major Russ Sjögren, general secretary and metro Detroit area commander for The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit. “We are counting on the generosity of metro Detroiters to help us keep doing the most good this Christmas season and throughout the entire year.”
Here are just a few ways to help fellow Michiganders this season:
- Visit www.salmich.org
- Text SALMICH to 41444
- Sign up here to be a bell ringer volunteer
- Mail check or money order made payable to The Salvation Army, 16130 Northland Dr., Southfield, MI 48075
