Essex Rotary members will "ring the bell" as part of the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Fund Raising program. Rotary volunteers are stationed at two prominent Essex locations on December 3 and 4 (Friday and Saturday) - giving shoppers a chance to donate:
- Price Chopper in Essex (on Route 15) and
- Essex Discount Beverage (on Route 15).
All funds raised in the "Red Kettles" are turned over the the Salvation Army. Thirty-two (32) Essex Rotary members will be at Price Chopper and Essex Discount Beverage from 10 AM to 6 PM on both days, each serving a two hour shift.
The Salvation Army of Greater Burlington serves about 28,000 meals every year to people in need. And, runs a food shelf and responds to emergency situations.
