We at The Salvation Army in Tiffin/Seneca County wanted people to know The Salvation Army Red Kettles Campaign begins Friday and continues through Dec. 24. The goal for the Red Kettles 2009 is $33,000. The Tiffin community has a population of about 18,000 people. If each person were to donate $2, we would exceed the goal. The Salvation Army serves slightly more than 1,000 meals each month of the year. We have a food pantry that helps people who need food. We assist in helping people pay for their rent, utilities and prescriptions. We have a clothing bank that will help people who need clothes. This Christmas, The Salvation Army will be helping slightly more than 300 families. With the help of this community, we will be able to help these families to have a merry Christmas. This money also would help us to mentor and develop our youth in our community to be good citizens. Besides mentoring and nurturing our children, we also give a hand up to those who are need in our communit.
