The Yost Superior Co. Rings the Bell for the Salvation Army
Our team here at The Yost Superior Co. is proud to support The Salvation Army during the Holidays. We participate by “ringing the bell” and encouraging people to donate to this wonderful organization that helps so many people every year.
Our employees, along with their families, braved the cold to help make this charitable organization a big success in 2017!
Last Year’s Numbers
Although the 2017 numbers have yet to be totaled, The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign raised a total of $147.3 million in 2016! This is the result of a combined effort made by corporate partners, thousands of bell-ringers and the millions of people who donate each and every year!
Because of the donations received last year, The Salvation Army reported that “more than 3.2 million people received toys, food, clothes or all of the above, from The Salvation Army on Christmas Day.”
