HATTIESBURG & LAUREL, Miss. (WDAM) - Salvation Army Red Kettle Bell ringers are out across the Pine Belt collecting donations that benefit the local community.
The Hattiesburg and Laurel organizations explained exactly where your money goes when you donate to the Salvation Army.
“85 cents of every dollar goes right back into ministry of the Salvation Army,” said Captain Brian Hicks with the Hattiesburg Salvation Army. “What does that look like? We’ve got our social services department, we’ve got our Boys and Girls Club, our food pantry and many many different ministries that that dollar helps fund.”
