Ring Your Virtual Bell: Florissant Patch Joins the Salvation Army's Online Red Kettle Campaign

The Florissant Patch editor is engaging in a friendly competition with fellow Patchers to help the Salvation Army ring in donations for people it serves.

The holiday season is arguably the most giving time of year. However, it also is the busiest. Many of us give back by tossing our leftover grocery store cash and coins into our neighborhood Salvation Army red kettles. Now until Jan. 31, there is a way to do even more—with your own personal virtual red kettle.

Eight Patch sites, including this one, are proud to feature their very own Online Red Kettles. 

Click here to donate via the Florissant Patch Online Red Kettle.
