The Salvation Army of Rome will introduce a “Christmas in July” fundraiser next month in hopes of generating $5,000 or more in donations.
The fundraiser is intended to offset the usual decline in donations during the Summer, according to Major Hank Harwell, who asks for support from local businesses and individuals.
No bell ringers are sought for this fundraising campaign, as with the annual Red Kettle campaign during the holidays, says Major Harwell, who adds that participants may instead opt to establish a counter kettle at work or a virtual kettle to raise money.
For more information about the “Christmas in July” fundraiser, contact The Salvation Army of Rome at (706) 291-4745.
The non-profit additionally seeks donations of bottled water to keep those in need hydrated with soaring Summer temperatures in the forecast for the days ahead.
