Salvation Army looking for bell ringers ahead of their annual ‘Red Kettle Campaign’ in Coastal Bend<\/a><\/p>\nRegistration began this week at the Salvation Army\u2019s Center of Hope, where families signed up to receive gifts and support this Christmas. Volunteers and staff are working together to spread holiday cheer.<\/p>\n
The Angel Tree program continues to make a lasting impact in the Coastal Bend community, helping ensure that every child wakes up to a brighter Christmas morning.<\/p>\n
Polly Harris, Advisory Board Chair for The Salvation Army, said the organization\u2019s work extends well beyond the holidays.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just at Christmas time, it\u2019s all throughout the year,\u201d Harris said. \u201cWe do mostly families here at our shelter. We\u2019re the only shelter in Corpus Christi that allows families to stay together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Major Nathanael Doria, Commanding Officer of The Salvation Army of the Coastal Bend, expressed his gratitude to the community for its continued generosity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to give thanks to the Coastal Bend,\u201d Major Doria added. \u201cThis is my third Christmas, and it\u2019s amazing to see that not only they respond, but they respond on time. We start giving the presents away the first week of December.\u201d<\/p>\n
