WE APPRECIATE THE MANY
Thank you to the many volunteers who have stood outside during the Salvation Army appeal so far this year. A special thank you goes out to frigid weather ‘ringing the bells’ and all those who have donated to the many Moorhead Police Department Officers who also ‘rang the bells’ and donated their time during their days off.
