Ringing Bells and Collecting for the Salvation Army
An overcast Saturday morning and a little rain couldn’t dampen spirits outside the Wallingford Stop and Shop as State Representative Craig Fishbein (R-90) rang bells to raise money for local residents-in-need while collecting for the Salvation Army.
During his hour-long shift, Rep. Fishbein offered his thanks and best wishes for a happy holiday and Merry Christmas to customers and friends who stopped by to donate and say hello.
If you were unable to make it this past weekend, Rep. Fishbein and State Rep. Lezlye Zupkus will be ringing for the Salvation Army outside the Cheshire Stop and Shop this coming Saturday, December 21st from 10-11 a.m.
If you still can’t make it, but would like to donate, you can visit the Salvation Army’s website at www.salvationarmyusa.org to learn of other ways to do good this holiday season; for example, by donating cars, clothing, household goods, airline miles, bonds and stocks, or volunteering for the community.
You can also text CTREP to 71777 to donate on your mobile phone!
As a group, the state Republican caucuses have raised more than $200,000 for the Salvation Army over the past several years. The Salvation Army 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.
