Join the Minnesota Nice Challenge this December in Southeast Minnesota and help the Salvation Army of Rochester continue to help families this Christmas season

Showing some love and kindness is what this challenge is all about and you can do 1, 2 or all 3 of these fun activities to show some Minnesota Nice.

Minnesota Nice Challenge #1 - Get your loose change ready because the bells are ringing in Rochester, Bryon, Chatfield, and Stewartville for The Salvation Army.  Challenge yourself that every time you walk by a red kettle, drop a few coins or some dollars into the bucket.  Donations to the red kettles help support the health, housing, and human services programs in Olmsted County by the Salvation Army.
