Salvation Army and Red Cross Seek Volunteers

The Salvation Army of Dubuque is seeking volunteer bell ringers for its Christmas fundraising campaign starting November 16, with sign-up available at registertoring.com. Concurrently, the American Red Cross is appealing for volunteers in North Carolina, where it continues to operate eight shelters for around 300 displaced individuals following Hurricane Helene, while also looking for volunteers in Eastern Kentucky to bolster its disaster response efforts. The Red Cross has provided 20,000 overnight stays and 400,000 meals since the storm, underscoring a heightened need for assistance. Additionally, the Salvation Army in Bermuda is facing a critical financial challenge due to increased demand for services, urging the community for food and monetary donations to remain operational. The organization emphasizes the urgency of donations as they risk temporary closure without immediate support. Individuals can contribute by contacting the local Salvation Army or attending outreach events.
