The Christmas season may seem far in the future, but Viterbo classes, departments, and organizations are asked to plan ahead and register to adopt a Salvation Army Red Kettle bell ringing location as part of the annual Viterbo Rings Service Saturday Dec. 7.

By adopting a location, your group would commit to recruiting one to two people to cover your location during the time frame determined by the Salvation Army. In the past, bell ringers have been asked to staff the red kettles from 10 a.m.–8 p.m., dividing the day into two-hour shifts. Some locations vary on start/end times based on the businesses they are near.

Email Colin Burns-Gilbert, student life, to register or with any questions. 

“This activity is a great way to build Viterbo relationships and to spread awareness of the good we do into the larger La Crosse community,” said Burns-Gilbert.
