Fort Smith Regional Chamber Of Commerce: 2021 Holiday Volunteer Opportunities With The Salvation Army

Press release from the Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce:

October 13, 2021

Each year, The Salvation Army of Fort Smith makes ourselves available to those in need in the River Valley by assisting with gifts, clothing, and food through our Red Kettle Campaign. Last year, nearly 13,000 people received assistance.

This year, we are seeking individuals, families, and businesses to ring the bell for The Salvation Army. All proceeds directly impact at-risk families and vulnerable populations in Sebastian, Scott, Crawford, and Sequoyah Counites. Bell-ringing literally brings hope to so many families in our area.

Bell-ringing will begin on November 26th and end on Christmas Eve at noon. We bell-ring at many local establishments such as Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Yeager's ACE Hardware, Harp's, and more. We ring everyday with the exception of Sunday.

Volunteer bell-ringing registration is hosted online at www.registertoring.com. To volunteer, simply visit the website for a date of your choosing. For questions about the volunteer bell-ringing program, please contact Liliana Sierra-Robledo at 479-783-6145 ext. 207.
