In serving with The Salvation Army for over 25 years, I have found that the best way to experience the Holiday Spirit is by “Ringing The Bells” at Christmas time.
Watching the shoppers go in and out of the stores with their excited looks about getting gifts for their families and friends, listening to the Christmas music, drinking hot chocolate to stay warm and
greeting people as they put their money into the Red Kettle. These are the greatest days of the Season.
You can also know that you are receiving the greatest blessing of all time.
Helping your fellow man — especially little children who would not have anything for Christmas if it wasn’t for you taking time out of your busy day to “Ring the Bell.”
Don’t miss out on the number one blessing of your life. Just give us a call at 703-580-8991. Schedule your group, company, business, association or individuals and catch the holiday spirit.

Thank, Major, for your service to our communities! The Salvation Army is an awesome institution. In this recession, your services and any generosity will be even more needed.
Incidentally, I’m looking forward to the opening of your new thrift store on Balls Ford. It’s bigger and brighter. And we WILL need bigger for sure!
