Salvation Army Bell Ringing & Angel Tree
On the first Saturday of December - Dickens Festival - volunteers from the United Methodist Church of Wellsboro 'ring the bells' for the Salvation Army in front of the church building. Volunteers work in 30 minute to 1 hour shifts throughout the day to collect money for this charitable organization.
Every child deserves to have a wonderful Christmas. The angel tree helps to ensure that needy children in the community will receive a special gift for Christmas.
