The Red Kettle campaign kicks off Saturday

If you walk into a Seneca department store on Saturday, you are likely to get a feel for the holiday season.  We speak of the way the Belk store at Applewood shopping center has decorated its aisles and stocked its shelves.  In front of the store between 11 am and 2 pm Saturday there will be bell ringers for the Salvation Army, as well as a ceremony that will officially start the local Salvation Army’s campaign to raise money to help feed, clothe, and shelter Oconeeans in need.  In an interview airing today on 101.7/WGOG NEWS Debra Andrews, director of the Oconee County Service Center of the Salvation Army, talks about how the Salvation Army tried to meet the challenges that Oconeeans faced in this year of the pandemic, combined with an EF3 tornado that created destructions in various parts of the Seneca area.
