Martinsburg Salvation Army gearing up for busy season

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — ‘Tis the season for some familiar sounds – like the ringing of the bells during the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Drive in Martinsburg.

Martinsburg Salvation Army Captain Joshua Webb said red kettles will be out at Walmart and Hobby Lobby in Martinsburg soon and Angel Tree tags will be available at Walmart, for needy children in the community.

“Listed on there is the children’s clothes sizes, their wishes for Christmas. You can buy those things for those kids and put them right back in the bin that’ll be right next to that tree and we’ll see that those children get those items for Christmas,” Webb said.

Tags are due back Dec. 6.

The Red Kettle Drive presents a big opportunity to serve, as Captain Webb said it’s getting harder and harder to find help.

“It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year, so it’s important that people who can, give if they can.”
