​Staneski, Foran High Keyettes Ring Bell For Salvation Army

From CT House Republicans: State Representative Pam Staneski (R-119) participated in the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign and collected $233.14 by ringing bells for donations on Saturday December 10th at the Walmart located at 1365 Boston Post Road, Milford, CT. Walmart will match the donations dollar for dollar.

Rep. Staneski was joined by the Foran Keyettes, the Keyettes is a service club at Foran High School, open to girls in all grades. The Keyettes sang Christmas Carols with the State Representatives during the bell ringing event.

Rep. Staneski said, “I want to thank everyone who made a donation. Together, we can combine donations of all sizes to accomplish incredible things in our Milford community. I am thankful for the opportunity to support this organization and for the overwhelming generosity of our neighbors.”

The Red Kettle Campaign collects donations from Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve. Funds raised go to local Salvation Army centers and help provide holiday dinners, clothing and toys for families in need. Funding sometimes stretches beyond the holiday season and donations can provide aid for families, seniors and the homeless throughout the year.

The Salvation Army operates 7,546 centers in communities across the United States. These include food distribution, disaster relief, rehabilitation centers, anti-human trafficking efforts, and a wealth of children’s programs. The Red Kettle Campaign began in 1891 and raises millions of dollars each year during the holiday season.
