The Salvation Army of Kalispell's annual chamber "ring-off day" will be Friday, Dec. 8
Local chambers of commerce ring the bell at one of the Salvation Army's red kettles in a friendly competition to see which community can raise the most donations.
The Bigfork Chamber of Commerce will be at Harvest Foods in Bigfork. The Evergreen Chamber of Commerce will be at Super One Foods in Evergreen.
Each chamber also has its own “virtual kettle” where people can make online donations.
At the end of the day, the chamber that raised the most donations win the traveling chamber trophy, currently held by the Evergreen Chamber.
