ODESSA, TEXAS - ther than Rudolph’s shiny red nose, the Salvation Army is about to start setting up the season’s second most famous red item.

That’s because the organization will soon place their famous kettles around town as part of their seasonal fundraising effort. Though separate from their larger Empty Stocking Fund drive, the kettles are also a source of income to help the Salvation Army keep its doors open and provide assistance to those in need.

Odessa Corps Officer Lt. Joe Contreras said this year, he is looking at setting up kettles in 13 different locations around the city, but has one major problem: he doesn’t have enough volunteers to ring the bell.
