BRISTOL – Rep. Joe Hoxha (R-78th) joined Rep. Cara Pavalock-D’Amato to raise funds for in-need residents by recently collecting for the Salvation Army at the Bristol Stop & Shop. 
The Bristol delegation stopped by the store and rang the bell for a good cause to help make the fundraising event a success. 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.
The Salvation Army continues to try to make Christmas a bit brighter for area families this year, so if you would still like to donate, you can do so at this link: https://salarmy.us/GOP
In addition to monetary donations, participants can make a gift of cars, clothing, household goods, airline miles, bonds and stocks, or can volunteer for the community.
