WARSAW – In anticipation of its 104th annual Christmas campaign, The Salvation Army recently held its annual bell ringing drawing at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation in Warsaw.

At the bell ringing drawing, area service clubs draw for Saturdays to ring bells at Walmart and Kroger.

The annual Christmas campaign not only funds the outreach of The Salvation Army at Christmas but also assistance that is provided throughout the year, according to Majors Sanhty and Jean Thammavongsa, corps directors.

Businesses, churches, groups and individuals may sign up to ring bells at registertoring.com. Bell ringing will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 25, and end on Wednesday, Dec. 24. Bells are not rung on Sundays.
