Salvation Army bell ringers continue holiday tradition

As holiday shoppers hit the city's retail centers in force, so are the Salvation Army bell ringers. 
Their tradition began more than 125 years ago, when a Salvation Army captain sought a way to provide Christmas dinner to 100 people.
So he set up a pot for people to donate change and created an enduring holiday tradition.
Now, donations do more than provide meals. They support communities in a number of ways, including funding after-school programs.
