The display is from Marjean Hawkins and the profits will go to help fund the library.
Red Kettle Campaign
You will notice the Salvation Army Kettle once again located outside of the Town and Country Food Center throughout December.
Each weekend the Kettle will be manned by volunteers from local area churches in an effort to raise funds for the Salvation Army to help locally in our community. The Red Kettle Campaign helps raise donations for those who need it most by providing toys for kids, coats for the homeless, food for the hungry and countless other programs. When you give to the Red Kettle Campaign the monies remain in the community in which you donate, so come out and support the Sugar Grove Area Salvation Army Kettle.
