SAN ANTONIO- Now one group is using its holiday tradition to help victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The Salvation Army officially kicked off its 2012 Red Kettle Campaign over the Thanksgiving Holiday. The campaign is in its 122- year tradition of ringing bells to raise money for those the Salvation Army helps year round on a daily basis.

Bell ringers can be seen at various stores throughout the nation and in San Antonio, Including Wal-Mart, Macy's, Sam’s Club, and JC Penney stores.

You can also ring a virtual red kettle bell. Donations can be made on-line or even on your cell phone via text. If you would like more information on how to donate on-line visit the Salvation Army website at salvationarmyusa.org

Didn’t see so many complaints about the Salvation Army during the 98 San Antonio floods when they were there with food/water-blankets and assistance as needed for your needy assays! Sick-Sick-Sick People!

give to local animal shelters and rescues. they all work for free and even fund treatment and boarding out of their own pockets.

Salvation Army: only 0.03 cents of every dollar donated goes to really helping someone. .97 cents goes to operations....is it still the same?

The spelling of that headline goes to show what a fine job our public educators are doing. And they think they need more of our tax dollars?

As you open your pockets for yet another natural disaster, keep these facts in mind: Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross... salary for year ending 06/30/03 was $651,957 plus expenses. Brian Gallagher, President of the United Way receives a $375,000 base salary, plus numerous expense benefits. The Salvation Army's Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization. No further comment necessary

I'm no English Major, but what is up with that horrible headline? Did someone's three year old type that from their Twitter account? HOLY smokes.
