The 2020 Salvation Army Red Kettle fundraiser was a big success, due to generosity community support.
ESCANABA This year’s Salvation Army Red Kettle fundraiser went well, according to Major Alex Norton, who runs the Escanaba Salvation Army with his wife Aimee.
The charity ran both a physical drive this year, with kettles in front of local stores, and a virtual drive, sending donation envelopes out in issues of the Daily Press.
While Norton said finding volunteer bell ringers during the pandemic was an additional challenge.
“Volunteers were nervous. They would hear announcements on news about the virus and didn’t want to go out,” he said.
