WATERFORD – State Representative Kathleen McCarty (R-38) and State Senator Paul Formica (R-20) have volunteered for the fourth year in a row to raise money for local residents in need by collecting for the Salvation Army at Walmart on December 18th. All proceeds collected during the one hour of bell ringing will be donated directly to the Salvation Army.
When: Tuesday, December 18, 2018 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Where: Walmart, 155 Parkway North, Waterford, CT
Last year Rep. McCarty and Sen. Formica’s collection contributed to the more than $260,000 that the House Republican Caucus has raised as a whole for the Salvation Army over the past several years.
The legislators welcome all constituents to stop by the store and help make the fundraising event a success! If you are unable to make it on December 18th, you can donate directly on the Salvation Army’s website at www.salvationarmyusa.org – where you can also 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.
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.
