Salvation Army hoping for ringing endorsements, donations as kettle campaign lags
It seemed fitting that Cadyn Pinkerton danced near the entrance of Party City the other day.
The 17-year-old Columbus North High School student actually busted a move or two at the Salvation Army Red Kettle positioned closer to the door of neighboring Hobby Lobby. But he clearly was enjoying a little party city of his own while adopting a simple hobby during his stint as a bell ringer.
“I just want to see people smile,” he said, following with a grin of his own.
The local nonprofit’s annual Red Kettle Campaign, unfolding at 16 sites around Columbus through Dec. 24, not counting a mail-in push that stretches to the end of January, could use a smile and some joy of its own. Leaders say they’re behind in donations for its annual campaign that funds its pantry, utilities assistance, Angel Tree Christmas gift outreach, youth programs, summer camps, and more.
