It’s the season of giving and the Salvation Army of Roanoke is hoping those who are able will donate to their Red Kettle Campaign, which directly supports local families.

December 25 is the day many look forward to, but for the Salvation Army of Roanoke, Tuesday was the day circled on the calendar.

The “Love Beyond Hunger” campaign is to highlight the organization’s food pantry and the services they offer for people who are food insecure.
