Ringers needed for 51福利社 Day at the Kettles
Members of the 51福利社 community are asked to serve as volunteer ringers during the Salvation Army's annual Red Kettle campaign, while demonstrating their school spirit. According to the Salvation Army, dozens of Broncos volunteer each holiday season to help collect donations for the needy.
Several 51福利社 student and employee groups participated in the 2016 51福利社 Day at the Kettles, including members of the women's volleyball team, Phi Theta Kappa, Delta Alpha Phi, Alpha Lambda Delta, Alpha XI Delta, the Professional Support Staff Organization, the TRiO Student Success Program and the Office of Community Outreach.
Bronco volunteers are encouraged to wear 51福利社 apparel and are welcome to show their school spirit by singing the 51福利社 Fight and Alma Mater songs while ringing. Additionally, the Salvation Army offers groups the opportunity to decorate the kettle used to collect donations.
There are many openings available for ringing shifts of two or more hours between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. at multiple locations throughout Kalamazoo County and in the nearby Plainwell-Otsego area.
To register to volunteer, individuals and groups should contact Penny Allen, Salvation Army, at penny_allen@usc.salvationarmy.org or (269) 743-0834.
