…was blind, but now I see.

In his gospel, Mark describes the healing of a blind man from Bethsaida. Jesus restored his vision with his saliva and touch. On Monday, January 16th, free eye exams and eyeglasses will be offered to low-income residents of Monroe County.
The event, which is held at the Indiana University Eye Care Clinic, is sponsored by The Salvation Army, the Indiana University School of Optometry, Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity students, the City of Bloomington, and the Bloomington Lions Clubs. It is offered to Monroe County residents who do not have private insurance, Medicaid or Medicare; and cannot afford vision care.
Participants must pre-register by calling The Salvation Army at 336-4310 or by visiting us at 111 N. Rogers St. between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Space is limited, so call us today!
ONLINE RED KETTLE

What is The Salvation Army’s Online Red Kettle campaign?
The Salvation Army Online Red Kettle campaign is an online version of our renowned red kettles, longtime symbols of giving to The Salvation Army. Individuals, groups and businesses can raise money for The Salvation Army by creating an Online Red Kettle, which can be visited and donated to by family, friends and customers. Online Red Kettles can be personalized with photos or graphics and linked to other websites.
Commitments include sending e-mails to friends, families, neighbors, co-workers and anyone else you can think of asking them to donate to your Salvation Army Online Red Kettle.
Why is The Salvation Army doing an Online Red Kettle campaign?
Supporting an Online Red Kettle ensures that The Salvation Army will be able to continue providing food for the hungry, a home for those without shelter, emergency rent and utility assistance for the working-poor, and rehabilitation services and counseling for those addicted to drugs and alcohol.
And these are only a few examples of the many ways The Salvation Army radically transforms the lives of the hurting in our cities.
Why should I get involved in the Online Red Kettle campaign?
It is fun. Fast. Easy. Free…and you see how much you’ve raised in real time. It’s a way for you to make big difference in a small way all year. It’s the perfect way for you to show your commitment to your community. Also, the perfect excuse to email your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. Finally, it’s an opportunity for supporters like you to spread the word about the good work we do.
