The Salvation Army is looking forward to another busy Christmas Season. I know, I know, it's not even Halloween, but they've gotta get planning now! The bell ringers will be out before you know it - and they'll be working to help people in need. Now, we just need to know who needs that help.
At the mention of the phrase "Salvation Army," it's likely you'll immediately imagine a person standing outside a local store with a bell and a bright red bucket. The bell is to get your attention. The bucket is to receive your donation.
The Salvation Army works very hard for the people of Sedalia and Pettis County. They provide food, clothing, shelter, and some good old fashioned company for folks who are going through a rough time. They thrive and live on volunteers and their kind hearts. They give their time to a larger cause, and do it willingly every day.
The Salvation Army of Sedalia is always busy working on helping people here in our area. They offer lots of dinners, but coming up on April 20 they have a free Easter dinner. Not only can you enjoy the food, but you can also volunteer with the meal itself.
The local Salvation Army are always doing things to help anyone in need. We may associate them with the bell ringers in the fall and winter, but the folks over there raise money and help people all year long. They've got a big dinner and benefit coming up on Friday, March 14.
