GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – It’s that time of year again were you’ll be seeing the Salvation Army of Greater Green Bay red kettles around town.
Thursday was the official kickoff of their Christmas Campaign that will run through Christmas Eve.
The theme this year is “Connecting Your Reason to the Season for 125 years in Greater Green Bay.”
Spokesperson Kathryn Kroll says they have some lofty goals but are optimistic.
“Our overall Christmas campaign goal is $1,000,000 and the kettles make up about 30-40% of that goal.”
Kroll says they feel blessed to have many local partnerships to help boost donations.
“Thanks to the support of local businesses such as Associated Bank, the Green Bay Packers Give Back, Schneider, Wisconsin Public Service, we’ll have all sorts of match days throughout the campaign.”
Kroll says they are still looking for bell ringers and encourage the public to get involved. You can sign up at www.sagreenbay.org.
Last year the campaign brought in $1,000,468.
