Service Event
Fundraising Event
While The Salvation Army’s 6th annual Kettle Krush 5K run/walk is in a “different season” than Christmas, the purpose is for the “same reason.” Through this event, the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary is able to help The Salvation Army raise awareness for and to “krush” poverty, homelessness, and sex trafficking in our area, and support veterans and youth enrichment.
