God Bless our ringers and givers!

We broke another bell ringing record!

The Joy of Giving

 John Greenleaf Whittier

 

Somehow, not only for Christmas,
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you;
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing
Returns to make you glad.

 

Thank you so much for generously giving of your time and money to the Salvation Army during our Christmas Season Bell Ringing activities.

   We are truly blessed and our community will be helped in many ways.

   Total raised in Marion County for 2012 is $44,411.94!

  Ninety (90%) of the money comes back to Marion County. 

These funds will be distributed locally throughout the year by the Neighbor Helping Neighbor organization with offices in the Activity Center.

 

  If you know someone in need have them stop by the First United Methodist Church's  Activity Center on Robinson St. 

 
 The other ten (10%) goes for world wide disaster relief.
