Salvation Army seeks volunteers

The Salvation Army wants to recruit 3,000 volunteers to assist in its annual Red Kettle fundraising campaign, which begins in November.

Members of organizations, businesses, churches and individuals are being asked to volunteer to ring bells in front of donation kettles that will be set up during the holiday season at shopping centers, grocery stores, city sidewalks and other locations throughout Colorado Springs.

Funds collected benefit the local chapter of The Salvation Army, which operates the city's main homeless shelter, programs for needy children, transitional housing programs for families and meal programs for low-income residents.
