All the brokerage offices in Le Mars will be participating in ringing the bells from 11-6 today (Friday) outside each door.

According to the Siouxland Salvation Army office, based in Sioux City, money from the kettles is equitably distributed back to the counties where it was raised each year. They added that volunteers are needed throughout the season to ring the bells here in Le Mars. Any group, organization, family or individuals wanting to help can contact the Salvation Army office at 712-255-8836 and ask for Janice.
