(Radio Iowa) – The Siouxland Salvation Army is offering an incentive to volunteers who will ring the bells at their red kettles during their ongoing fundraiser. Captain Teri Ellison says they’ve teamed up with a jewelry store. program. “I think this is unique to Sioux City. It’s called ‘Ring for the Bling’, and for every two-hour shift that you ring, you get your name put into a kettle, and that drawing will be on Christmas Eve. Riddles, Jewelry has been setting aside jewelry all year long. I think they have 12 pieces,” she says. Ellison says they have many open spots for bell ringers.

“We are really struggling to get volunteer bell ringers, so we’re hoping to entice people today to come out and even think about it if they haven’t for the first time,” Ellison says. Ellison says they do have some indoor locations if people are worried about being out in the cold. She says they are also seeking out groups of people who want to help with the fundraiser. “Church groups, youth groups, maybe school organizations, banks, you name it. Can just get a group together and go out and take a day and ring a kettle,” she says.

Anyone interested in helping out can go to registertoring.com (register to ring dot com) to sign up. You must complete your shift to be eligible to win some jewelry. The Siouxland Salvation Army has a fundraising goal of 107-thousand dollars and says all funds go to local program. The Red Kettle campaign runs through Christmas Eve.
