The Manheim Salvation Army Fund is seeking volunteers to help make its season of community generosity a success. Volunteers are needed throughout the month of December to ring bells at two longstanding local locations: Longenecker's Hardware and Hilltop Market.

For decades, the familiar red kettles have played a vital role in supporting neighbors in need throughout the Manheim community. Funds raised stay local and help with emergency assistance, utility support, food needs, and other critical services provided through the Manheim Salvation Army Fund.

Individuals, families, church groups, civic clubs, youth groups, and businesses are invited to volunteer. Shifts are typically one to two hours and can be scheduled at the volunteer's convenience throughout the month of December.

Those interested in volunteering should contact the Rev. John A. Laughlin, treasurer of the Manheim Salvation Army Fund and pastor at Salem United Methodist Church, at 717-665-2331 or pastor@salemmanheim.org.

The Manheim Salvation Army Fund provides local assistance to individuals and families within the Manheim community. All funds raised in Manheim stay in Manheim to support local needs.
