Red Kettles

Today, I basically just looked up ways that I would be able to help. I looked up the Salvation Army on the Northside and I found out that they are always looking for people to help with the Kettles, Project Bundle-Up, Treasures for Children, Operation Toy Lift and much more. As I was reading about the Red Kettles, I found out that they have been doing the Kettles since 1891 in San Francisco. Also people from the Northside Salvation Army spend some nights going out in groups to look for homeless people to give food or shelter. Shelter isn't always available though because they have very limited space and sometimes not everyone will have space. Apparently under the Monroeville Exit Overpass there are little bronze plaques with the names of homeless people and the year they passed away with the saying "We Remember." I thought that was pretty interesting to I shared that with you all.
