Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Kickoff Breakfast Is Nov. 20

“My family goes back four generations to the Salvation Army in England and three generations back to the Salvation Army in Chile,” Guerrero said. “I have hundreds of family members who were officers, soldiers, musicians and social workers for the Salvation Army through the years. I grew up in the church and my dad was a social worker and now does planning studies for the Salvation Army. I have always supported their work and have hosted or done fundraising for at least 30 events throughout my life. They are by far the best and most trusted international charitable organization in the world. The work they are doing right now, specifically to build the new Hope Center in Pasadena, is incredible. The Salvation Army is always ‘doing the most good.’”
