Gary Mikel rings the bell for red kettle donations for the Salvation Army at Potsdam’s Price Chopper. “There is a high need for help with inflation and the high cost of heating fuel and food this year. Donations will be collected through Christmas Eve. 92% of donations stays local. Volunteer bell ringers are needed big time to help collect donations,” said organizer Kate Mikel.
