We spoke with Bill Cramer about the importance of the Empty Stocking Fund to our community.
“It goes to help families at Christmas time. Parents who don’t have the money to put Christmas presents under the trees,” Cramer said. “It helps the Salvation Army throughout the year meet the needs of our community, so it is the most important campaign with the Salvation Army in our community every year.”
In the 40 years Bill Cramer Chevrolet has done the Empty Stocking Fund, they’ve been able to raise over $6.4 million for families in need.
