TSA-WC’s goal is to raise $300,000 during this year’s Red Kettle Campaign to provide community services to those in need in 2010. TSA-WC has seen a 30 percent increase in assistance requests this year from people who are newly unemployed. Bell ringers will collect donations at 35 red kettles throughout Washtenaw County from Nov. 20 through Dec. 24 (excluding Thanksgiving and Sundays). Volunteer bell ringers are an essential part of the success of the Red Kettle Campaign. Visit http://www.sawashtenaw.org for a complete list of bell ringing locations and to sign up for volunteer shifts.
Inside Briarwood Mall. A giant red kettle measuring 6 feet tall and 6 feet around will be set up in the Celebration Center next to the play area in the JCPenney court. The Salvation Army of Washtenaw County’s annual Red Kettle Campaign raises funds to support the services TSA-WC provides to the needy in Washtenaw County year round. The Red Kettle Campaign is going high tech this year with the addition of credit card machines at three kettles in Briarwood Mall and one kettle at Sam’s Club in Ypsilanti. TSA-WC is the first corps in the state of Michigan to use credit card machines at its kettles.
