ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- The Salvation Army is set to kick off its annual Red Kettle Campaign at stores around St. Joseph.

Volunteers will begin ringing bells at more than five locations in the community, including Hy-Vee, Price Chopper and Sam's Club. Community members interested in volunteering should call Megan Smith at 816-232-5824.
