The Salvation Army's Kettle Program’s success is because of the generous gift of your time and caring.

Thanks to our vendors, local papers, businesses and individuals throughout the county for their kind and generous support.

A special note of thanks to CM Braito Marina for a significant donation; to Roni England and Shore Line Realty Inc. for coordinating a toy drive, providing toys to youngsters and teens that would not have had gifts for the holiday season.

Your continued contributions provide food, holiday baskets, hot meals, utility assistance, back to school programs, summer camp and many other social services during the holidays and the coming year!

We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you!

Barbara Ringenberg is coordinator for the Salvation Army's Lake County Service Center in Clearlake.
