by the
Mayor of the City of Anna, Texas
To all to whom these presents shall come,
Greetings:
WHEREAS, The operations of The Salvation Army are supervised by trained, commissioned officers.
They proclaim the gospel and serve as administrators, teachers, social workers,
counselors, youth leaders, and musicians. These men and women have dedicated their
lives completely to service; and
WHEREAS, Nearly 500 people of all ages dedicated to volunteering their time, talents, and resources
to meet human needs without discrimination through The Salvation Army of McKinney.
Where volunteers are critical partners in helping fulfill their promise to America of
“Doing the Most Good”; and
WHEREAS, In McKinney, The Salvation Army provides important services to the community,
including recreational activities for active adults; support for men, women, and children
experiencing poverty; a food pantry; and financial assistance to help families pay rent
and utility bills; and
WHEREAS, These services are provided free of charge to the people who are served. The only way
this is possible is through the financial support of local citizens who give through various
channels, not the least of which is The Salvation Army’s annual red kettle campaign; and
WHEREAS, To reach their red kettle goal of $100,000 for this year’s holiday campaign, The
Salvation Army is seeking volunteers to fill the more than 1,000 three-hour shifts as bell
ringers. The average volunteer bell ringer brings in over $50 an hour for the cause;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Pete Cain, Mayor of the City of Anna, Texas, do hereby declare and proclaim the 2024
holiday season in Anna as
“THE SALVATION ARMY, LEADING THE FIGHT FOR GOOD”
and urge all citizens to go to RegisterToRing.com and pick a day, time, and location to
volunteer as a bell ringer for The Salvation Army between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and
caused the official seal of the City of Anna, Texas to be affixed
this the __12__ day of November, 2024.
