The Salvation Army of Kalamazoo has issued an "urgent" call for more support this holiday season, saying it is seeing a drop in toy donations, monetary donations and Red Kettle volunteers.
Eric Winstrom, a commander of the Chicago Police Department (CPD), has been selected to serve as Grand Rapids’ next police chief, replacing Police Chief Eric Payne, who retired from the department.
With the need for volunteers increasing for Christmastime, the Salvation Army is hosting a volunteer open house to recruit help for the upcoming holidays.
