The Taylorville Ministerial Association is partnering with the Salvation Army Bell Ringers to help raise money for the TMA's emergency assistance fund, and is in need of volunteers to help ring bells. The fund serves to help local residents who are in need of things such as food, gas, shelter, and more.

Bill Kerns and Michael Evanchak with the Taylorville Ministerial Association appeared as guests on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show. Kerns shared what days the TMA needs volunteers for.

One of the big reasons why the TMA paired with the Salvation Army is that 85 cents of every dollar raised will stay local. That money will help with the Ministerial Association's emergency fund, and Evanchak shared why that fund is so important.

To volunteer to ring a bell, call Pastor Bill Kerns at Davis Memorial Christian Church at 824-8181.
