"Our promise and commitment is 'We Answer To You.' This pledge includes our commitment to the community. One of the ways we wanted to mark our 75th anniversary year was to involve our employees and to partner with others in supporting a very worthy cause," explains Kim Bassett-Heitzmann, President & CEO, Bassett Mechanical.

“The need is great here in the Fox Cities and having the support of the good people at Bassett Mechanical, donors and volunteers will help our Red Kettle campaign maintain the needed momentum in critical times,” said Major Jose Tamayo, Corps Officer, Salvation Army.

WHY: To help families dealing with poverty here in the Fox Cities. During these difficult economic times, donations are needed now more than ever as the need for the services of the Salvation Army continues to rise.

The faith-based social services agency has a $1.2 million dollar Christmas fund-raising goal for this year, which accounts for up to 60 percent of the local Salvation Army’s operating budget. These funds provide assistance to thousands of individuals in need this Christmas and throughout the year for a myriad of social service programs.
