COMMUNITY News:

Bells will ring again at Smith’s in Los Alamos and White Rock during the holiday season as Self Help, Inc. partners with the Salvation Army to launch the annual Red Kettle campaign. Funds collected via volunteer bell ringers and community donations in red kettles help Los Alamos County residents with rent or utility bill payments—every donation counts.

Can you spare just two hours? Boost your immune system this season by ringing bells! Join our cheerful and caring bell-ringing team and sign up for a two-hour shift from Nov. 26 through Christmas Eve. It’s a fun, festive, and rewarding way to spread holiday cheer and support local families in need. Feel free to invite friends, family, or coworkers to join you!
