“One hundred percent of the funds raised through the Red Kettles will stay local to show love to all of our neighbors in need during the holidays and beyond,” says Dan Lawson, PhD, Director of Community Relations and Development.
“And the need hasn’t been greater than now,” continues Dr. Lawson. “The Ashland County community has been significantly impacted by inflation, the affordable housing crisis, and food insecurity. That means a massive number of families will be going into the New Year with fewer resources and more need.”
