Impact Story: Meet Fred

Fred has enjoyed being a bell ringer for several years but was honored to be recognized as the top earner per hour from MRI this season. Fred always brings his biggest smile and warmest “Merry Christmas” when he rings bells, with his time this season totaling 32 hours!


After Fred was presented with his special thank-you gift from the Salvation Army, he was overjoyed. “I helped those people… get food and be safe,” he stated. “I am proud.”


We are proud of the work that Fred and the rest of the bell ringers did this season, and we are happy to continue our partnership with the Salvation Army. Fred and the rest of the crew are already excited to help them again next year!

“I am as thankful for this program as this gives my child anopportunity to learn teamwork, be with her peers and have fun. If not for this program, she would have been at home watching television and playing video games.”
