The Salvation Army will begin its red kettle campaign on Friday, Dec. 14\. Locked kettles are placed at various locations throughout Santa Monica. Organizations and businesses are encouraged to adopt a kettle for a shift, a day, or a week. The Salvation Army provides immediate aid during times of need, long term-solutions to the problems of homelessness and hunger, unemployment and job training programs. The Salvation army is in need of volunteer bell ringers to staff the kettles. Interested individuals should contact Brian West at (310) 451-1358.
