Helping the Salvation Army
Individuals from the Slippery Rock Program Center have been giving back to the community by ringing the bell and taking donations for the Salvation Army at the Giant Eagle in Slippery Rock. They signed up for several days and take turns in two-hour shifts. Heather said, "It feels good helping others. I like ringing the bell!" Bobby enjoys it so much, he did it for the whole day. He didn't want a break.
