Be Generous at the Red Kettles

Please show your concern for those in need by giving a generous donation at the Salvation Army Red Kettles, especially those at Canadian Lakes Refuse Center and Lakeside Motorsports Open house, plus the counter kettles at Hixson’s Market. All donations are used to benefit people in the four-county area served by Big Rapids

Salvation Army. If you are responding to a Salvation Army Mail appeal, please consider depositing your donation at the Refuse

Center or Lakeside Red Kettle, rather than mailing it in. The money ends up at the same place, but it will help our Red Kettle total. To volunteer your time for attending any Red Kettle for two hours, contact Dale Doepker, dtroutman97@aol.com, 972-8663

SALVATION ARMY THRIFT STORE

THE BIG RAPIDS SALVATION ARMY

has a large Thrift Store at Downtown Big Rapids, in the shopping center just north of the Secretary of State office. The store has a wide variety of merchandise including clothing, kitchenware, housewares, sporting goods, furniture, electronics, books, beds, decor, tools, etc. Their prices are much lower than Goodwill and other resale stores in Big Rapids. All proceeds from the Thrift Store benefit only the Big Rapids Salvation Army programs and services for the 4-county area of Mecosta, Newago, Osceola, and Lake Counties. Due to hiring difficulty, they are currently open only Tuesday to Friday 10 to 5. Volunteer help is needed, call for any information, 231-660-5060.
