Help fill John Williams’ Virtual Red Kettle!

With inflation near all-time highs and more people than ever living paycheck-to-paycheck, life is challenging for many. Your gifts go to The Salvation Army and their work in helping neighbors in need right here in the Chicago area.

And NEW this year, you can join with John to become a virtual bell ringer and raise money to add to his kettle. Click the “Join Team” button on John’s donation page to sign-up.
