GREENDALE - The Salvation Army of Oak Creek is partnering up with Southridge Mall, which will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Black Friday, to provide a variety of experiences for holiday shoppers.
“Black Friday with the Kettles” will take place on Friday, Nov. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Southridge Mall, 5300 S 76th St, Greendale, WI.

About The Salvation Army:
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination since 1865. Nearly 33 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. The Salvation Army tracks the level of need across the country with the Human Needs Index (Human NeedsIndex.org). Locally, 87 cents of every dollar raised is used to support programs and services in Milwaukee County.
