Arteman and Hotchkiss volunteer as Salvation Army bell ringers

ATI Account Executives Brenda Arteman and Jessica Hotchkiss were volunteer bell ringers at Coborn's Grocery Store in Huron.

In 1891, Salvation Army officer captain Joseph McFee began he first kettle fundraising drive; that year, it helped provide Christmas meals to more than 100,000 people.

Bell ringing helps people remember that there are people in their neighborhoods who won’t have a Christmas without their help.

Beginning each November and running through Christmas Eve, the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign has become one of the most visible community holiday fundraisers nationwide.
