Bell Ringing with Salvation Army
Saturday December 4, 2021
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM (Multiple Shifts)
Kroger - 2200 E Twelve Mile Road Royal Oak, MI 48067
Volunteer bell ringers are more than an icon of the Christmas season; they're the difference between an empty kettle and one that raises the funds that sustain the help The Salvation Army provides all year long. When you volunteer to stand at a kettle, you're not just ringing a bell...you're changing lives. Join us as we bell ring outside of Kroger in Royal Oak! You will sign up for 1 of 3 shifts.
**Please note that when signing up. Shift options are: 10:00 am - 11:30 am, 11:30 am - 12:45 pm, 12:45 pm - 2:00 pm. Designate which shift you would like in the 'comment' box.
