NEWBURYPORT - The Salvation Army in Newburyport is getting ready for their big “Red Kettle” annual<br />
fundraiser. When you see a “bell-ringer” standing with a Red Kettle outside a store, or in the street, please<br />
remember that the proceeds go largely towards helping members of our community with food, meals, rent,<br />
utilities, and other social services and programs. Major Todd Hughes, who with his wife, Major Rosemarie, run<br />
The Salvation Army on Water Street in Newburyport, has set a goal of $55,000. Last year the goal was $50,000<br />
but this was exceeded by a few thousand dollars. There are opportunities to be employed as a bell-ringer, but<br />
many are volunteers who are looking to help, even for just a few hours. Please contact Major Todd Hughes for<br />
further information: 978 465 <strong>08</strong>83<br />
