Klarides to collect money for Salvation Army

DERBY - State Rep. Themis Klarides will again team up with The Salvation Army and Walmart to collect money for local families in need.


On Dec. 17 she will ring the bell at a Salvation Army kettle at the Walmart store, 656 New Haven Ave. Walmart has agreed to match dollar-for-dollar what Klarides collects between 5-6 p.m.



Salvation Army provides year-round service to people in need, offering food, shelter, and clothing or funding to local organizations with similar goals.


Klarides has worked with The Salvation Army and Walmart on holiday season fund-raising drives for three straight years, and over that period Republican legislators in the state House of Representatives have raised thousands of dollars, all generously matched by Walmart.



Klarides serves as Deputy Republican Leader and represents the 114th General Assembly District covering Woodbridge, Orange, and Derby.
This information was taken from a press release from her office.
