RING IN THE HOLIDAYS WITH YOUR LOCAL HEROES!
Happy Valley First Responders Join Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive

Get ready to spread some holiday cheer and meet your local heroes! On Wednesday, December 3rd, from 10 AM to 2 PM at Fred Meyer in Happy Valley (17005 SE Sunnyside Rd.), the community is invited to join forces with the Happy Valley Police Department and Clackamas Fire District as well as our civic leaders for the Salvation Army Red Kettle Donation Drive.

Two kettles, two teams, and one big heart for the community! Shoppers can stop by the main grocery entrance to meet firefighters, police officers, and civic leaders as they ring the bell to collect donations. Will the red kettle for fire or the blue kettle for police collect more money? There’s only one way to find out come cheer on your favorite team and help support families in need this holiday season.

Each hour, a different fire or police vehicle will be on display for the public to explore! Enjoy the chance to climb aboard fire trucks, peek inside police vehicles, and see the tools that keep Happy Valley safe all while meeting the local firemen, policemen, and civic leaders who make our community great.

This partnership highlights the power of community teamwork. Every dollar collected stays local, providing meals, shelter, and hope to neighbors who need it most. Plus, shoppers will get an up-close look at the people and equipment dedicated to keeping Happy Valley safe all while spreading holiday cheer.

So, grab your groceries, bring your generosity, and take a quick pit stop to meet your local heroes. Together, we can make this holiday season brighter for everyone!
