The image of the bundled-up volunteer braving the cold beside a red kettle outside a warm, brightly-lit store on “Black Friday,” may be an oversimplification, but it also neatly symbolizes the cognitive dissonance of Christmas. Particularly in a way that is similar to considering the contrasts between the newborn baby Jesus and the jolly old St. Nick. This year, Salvation Army bellringers will be collecting donations in four Rochester locations from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, from Friday, Nov. 25, until Saturday, Dec. 24. Locations are Kroger, Walmart, Smith Farm Store and R.P. Home & Harvest (formerly Big R). And organizers are seeking volunteers to help fill those red kettles. Over the last century-and-a-

And already he has seen for himself the need that exists in Fulton County. “Rochester has its own share of homeless,” said Hartman. “I’ve met many homeless here in town.” According to Salvation Army’s website, the origin of the red kettle dates back to 1891, when Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee “was distraught because so many poor individuals in San Francisco were going hungry. … During the holiday season, he resolved to provide a free Christmas dinner for the destitute and poverty-stricken.” To meet the need, McFee placed a pot at the Oakland Ferry Landing at the foot of Market Street. Beside the pot, he placed a sign that read, “Keep the Pot Boiling.” The idea soon spread to larger cities on the East Coast and then the rest of the country. Today, Salvation

These donations also go to help pay rent and utilities bills. “Many people who could be given help are not
getting help.” Another 20% of donations go disaster relief, while the remaining 10% goes to organization and providing bells, aprons and kettles to volunteers. CharityWatch rates the Salvation Army an “A−” to an “A,” indicating a high level Continued on page 2
