Salvation Army Red Kettle Ring the Bell Fundraiser
As part of the GUM 12 Mission project we ring the bell to raise money for the Salvation Army Red Kettle event during Christmas.
The Giving Tree
The Salvation Army’s Giving Tree program provides new clothing or toys for children of needy families through the support of donors. Found in local companies and corporations, Giving Trees are decorated with numbered paper angel tags with the first name, age and gender of a child in need of presents. Contributors remove one or more tags from the tree and purchase appropriate gifts for the child or children described on the tags.
