Christmas in July 2018! Join the Fight for Good!
The Christmas spirit typically brings to mind white glistening snow, sparkling lights and joy in our hearts. However, the celebration of miracles, hope, family and community happens every day in our community, not just during the Christmas season. That is why The Salvation Army is inviting the community to show their support during our second annual Christmas in July Red Kettle Campaign, July 20 & 21.
The Salvation Army is dedicated to helping our neighbors in their time of need, not just at Christmas but all year round. The communities support allows The Salvation Army Traverse City to feed hungry hearts and souls, assist with utilities, help individuals and families stay in their homes, provide area children and youth the opportunity to attend camp and explore God’s creation, help families break the cycle of poverty one step at a time through the Pathway of Hope program and meet critical and emergency needs of our neighbors during their time of need.
Our goal is to raise $10,000! 100% of donations collected stay local, for local programs, to help local individuals and families.
