Salvation Army Bell Ringer outside Malls....

[gramev64]

In my city bell ringers are all volunteers, so all the money goes directly to the Salvation Army.  They help so many people I hope that people give generously when you see them.

That is how it works where i live too. Salvation army is one of the few charities i really like. the ceo doesnt have a 6 figure salary and drive a roles royce.

i do wonder about the ringers safety in this day and age. your sort of a target standing there with a bucket of money.

During holiday season, you see them outside the Malls ringing that bell for donations.  Do you give any change to help out? Salvation Army should be doing this the Whole year.  It's probably minimum wage but they can still help out people with no job and get donations.  It's like killing 2 birds in 1 stone.  What do you guys think?

i think thats good im going to try all i can to help the salvation army this year by giving the clothes money and toys and anything else im all about helping this year

[tantricia44]

You're right, it they were out there year round there wouldn't be this last minute stress to get people to donate!

[vicogden]

I'm not sure.  I've heard some bad rumors about the Salvation Army.  I'm gonna have to research it and decide which cause(s) deserve donations the most.

[mrisha]

I may not donate money, but I donate clothes, household items, electronics through out the year.

[vgonzales1]

I do if I have loose change and I agree with you that they should do it year round

[mstevenson2]

i belong to the salvation army they have a budget to stay on only alloweed to hire so many so they cant do bell ringing year round and that money go's for helping people with needs food xmas ete

[dkanofsky]

They do a fine job and they do give of their time and effort.  Yes, I do give every year.

[mariek09]

I have done it in the past and where I live they are just volunteers.
If I have change to spare I will give it to them, its for a good cause
And they do it around the holidays to give to families who might go without during the holidays

I believe the bell ringers are volunteers. I always try to chip in a little to the Salvation Army when I can.

I think there could be more charity drives throughout the year the cost of living is so high most people can't afford to live and they become homeless and left in the gutter, it is so wrong what this nation does.

They perform a great service. I usually contribute something. I once volunteered to ring the bell for a service organization. Coldest, windiest day and longest 2 hours of my life. When my replacement came, I went into K-Mart to warm up.

I think they're volunteer's to ring the bells. I think it's a good way to help others in need. I do try to help them when I can.

I am sure there are alot of people out in the cold for the winter, some people don't want to think about it or get involved because  it would mess up their happiness
