Organizer Merna Furney is encouraging the people of Marion County to give to the Salvation Army Bell Ringing campaign.

Furney says people’s pocket change can really make a difference. She says in one day they can have over $300 in coins donated.

Furney says 90 percent of the proceeds from the Bell Ringing campaign will come back to Marion County while the rest will be put towards disaster relief.

The Salvation Army Bell Ringing campaign will continue through Christmas Eve.
