ECI Employees Ring The Bell for The Salvation Army

/in

The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in 1865, has been supporting those in need without discrimination for 130 years in the United States. Nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. 82 cents of every dollar spent is used to support those services in 5,000 communities nationwide.

Every year Engineered Construction employees are proud to participate in The Salvation Army’s annual Christmas Kettle Campaign by volunteering their time to ring the bell and collect donations at the local Millers & Son’s Grocery store in Verona.  For more information on The Salvation Army, ways to volunteer or to make a donation visit salvationarmydanecounty.org.
