During an economic downturn in 1891, Salvation Army Captian Joseph McPhee put a crab pot out on Fisherman's Wharf and asked passersby to give what they could to support the poor. Thus began the kettle tradition seen round the world!

The Salvation Army has changed my life, if ever so slightly.
They have taken me from where I was unemployed and at the mercy of others and given me a job.
I now beg publicly.
I used to rely on the charity of others.
I now watch donations meant to help me, go to the Salvation Army while I receive as little as the law allows them to pay.
The Salvation Army took me from a bad situation, made it public and takes a cut for doing it.
Merry Christmas,
The Bell Ringer
