PUTNAM — Holiday shoppers will see Salvation Army kettles at four Putnam stores starting Friday, November 27. The Putnam Rotary Club gave $500 to start this year’s drive, WINY Radio reported Sunday.
Putnam Rotary Interact adviser Roberta Rocchetti told WINY that volunteers plan to ring bells at Putnam Supermarket, Price Chopper, Stop & Shop and Walmart. The dates are November 27 and 28 and December 5, 12 and 19. The planned shifts run from 9 a.m. to noon, noon to 3 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m.
Rocchetti said she is still recruiting volunteers. She told WINY the money goes to the local Salvation Army office at Daily Bread to help area residents with expenses such as rent, heating fuel and utilities.
