The Audubon County Sheriff’s Office has participated in the Salvation Army’s Bell Ringing Campaign year after year to help people in need during the holiday season, and deputies and volunteers will be making their first appearance this weekend. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 27, the familiar red kettle will be out front of the Audubon Food Land on Market Street to collect donations. These will continue every Saturday through Dec. 18. Ninety percent of all money raised stays in Audubon County to aid residents in the event of a disaster or other emergency situations. In addition to the bell ringing campaign, donations can also be made at businesses throughout the county: Audubon Medicap, Present Company, Lori’s Flowers, Ace Hardware, Audubon State Bank, The Bakery, El Adobe and Clark’s Service. Donations can also be made using the QR code found on the kettles through PayPal, Venmo, Google Pay or Apple Pay. Individuals interested in volunteering in this effort are asked to contact the Audubon County Sheriff’s Office by calling 712-563-2631.
