SOUTH WINDSOR- On December 11th State Representative Tom Delnicki rang the bell for The Salvation Army at the South Windsor Stop & Shop.
Over the course of an hour, Rep. Delnicki participated in the time honored tradition of ‘Ringing the Bell’ as they greeted holiday shoppers. As a group, the Republican caucuses have raised more than $190,000 for the Salvation Army over the past several years.
“The 14th District has amazed me once again,” said Rep. Delnicki of his experience partnering with The Salvation Army and Wal-Mart. “In times of need our community comes together to help out those who need it most. It is important to remember all those in need especially during this holiday season. I would like to send a special thank you to all those that donated to this worthy cause and also to those who help out in other ways during this holiday season and throughout the year.”
All proceeds will be donated directly to The Salvation Army. Donated funds will help The Salvation Army provide basic social services to those in need of food, shelter, clothing, and financial assistance. The organization also responds to natural disasters such as wildfires and tornadoes, provides meals and toys to families in need, and conducts research and analyses regarding human needs around the country. They also provide adult rehabilitation, veteran services, elderly services, missing person searches, housing assistance, youth recreation, sponsorship, and support in the fight to end human trafficking.
Anyone that was unable to donate during the bell ringing but would wish to contribute to The Salvation Army can text CTREP to 71777 and donate directly to the House and Senate Republicans’ Red Kettle.
