“Smile, be friendly and go soft on the bells.”
With those words, Kristin Marand, who co-ordinates marketing and communications for the Salvation Army’s Prairie division, welcomed me to my two-hour volunteer shift at a Christmas kettle at the Superstore on Gateway Road in Winnipeg.
I was there in answer to an urgent plea for volunteers to help the Salvation Army raise $300,000 to help Winnipeggers in need.
Read about my stint as a bell ringer for the Sally Ann in the Free Press. And if you have some free time, why not volunteer where you live, too? For more information, go to the Salvation Army website.
