Mankato Salvation Army bell ringing campaign begins

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Friday marked the first official day of bell ringing for the Mankato Salvation Army.

Through the end the year, the Salvation Army’s goal is to raise $525,000.

All funds raised locally stay local to help those in need in Blue Earth County and North Mankato.

Those funds help provide vital year-round services like utility or eviction assistance, prescription assistance, fuel vouchers, ID replacement assistance, the Free Noon Meal, Day Shelter and much more.

You can text KATOCARES to 24365 to make a donation, or find a red kettle at many of the locations around the greater Mankato area. You can also send a donation to the Mankato Salvation Army, 700 South Riverfront Drive, Mankato MN 56001.
