The Ringing for The Salvation Army Is Going To Start in Rochester, Minnesota on Friday

One of my favorite memories with my kids is ringing bells together for The Salvation Army.  We stood in the doorway at Fareway, back when it was in Rochester.  My daughter brought her violin and played Christmas songs for everyone to enjoy.  It was an amazing time but it was also phenomenal to see people extremely generous and thankful to have us there, standing by the red kettle.  When the reality was, we were just thankful to have them give and help others.

The Salvation Army in Rochester will be kicking off the bell-ringing season on Friday, November 11th.  According to the registertoring.com website, red kettles will be at various locations in Rochester, Byron, Stewartville, and Chatfield this year.
