Volunteering for the Salvation Army as Bellringers
We have always wanted to volunteer for the Salvation Army during Christmas. So we finally made all the right connections and got our stores assigned out to us. We were so excited. They give you a little bell to ring, a locked pail on a stand, aprons and told to go bring them in. We tried to play jingle bells with our bells all we got was a lot of laughs. It was so cold out we jumped to keep our feet warm and ran in circles. People were all just great to us. As they passed us by the ones we figured would surely leave a good donation would drop in a few change or a couple dollars, but the ones we figured had no money would pull out MONEY and drop it in. Shows you can't tell a book by it's cover. Our shift was to last 4 hours we were so proud of ourselves and all the ones who donated. But then we found out most bell ringers do a 8 hours shift. We would recommend anyone doing this. It does help out the church that is out to help others a
