Ring that bell: Salvation Army’s Red Kettles return in Longview

The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign has returned to Longview, launching its annual Christmas-season fundraiser. Bell ringers are collecting donations at local businesses, including Hobby Lobby, where Debra Ward volunteered on Thursday, Nov. 12. Ward said she has rung the bell for six years. Contributions to the campaign support the organization’s seasonal charitable work and assistance for people in need.
