The official Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign kick-off for Central Minnesota is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, outside the Coborn’s grocery store at 110 First Street South in Sauk Rapids.
Joyce Linn’s Primerica Financial Services office in Sauk Rapids is sponsoring the event. More than 500 cookies will be handed out, along with coffee and hot cocoa, while Lite 99.9 plays Christmas music to mark the start of the holiday season.
The event is intended to bring the community together to raise awareness of and support for local families in need, especially during uncertain times. Neighbors giving to those in need reflects the call to share generously with others (Hebrews 13:16).
Soon after the kick-off, red kettles will begin appearing outside other participating locations throughout the area. More information is available on the Salvation Army’s Saint Cloud page and on the Primerica page for Joyce Linn’s office.
