Mayor Chris Frederickson will join NRG Radio personalities Mike Michalak and Duff Damos at Trig's to ring in the season, according to a Salvation Army press release.
Ringing will begin at Walmart on Friday, Nov. 23.

"Your participation is vital to meeting our goal of $40,000 for this year," the release states. "We fell short last year, which greatly hindered the assistance we provided to individuals and families in our community."
Shifts at Trig's and Walmart are open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Each shift is 90 minutes long.
How Donations Are Used
For every dollar donated, $.86 stays right here in Rhinelander. The remaining $.14 is used for state and national emergency relief efforts, the release states.
The Rhinelander Salvation Army quietly serves area residents by providing emergency assistance with housing, transportation and medical needs.
Housing services include temporary shelter, emergency utility or rent assistance. Transportation assistance may include gas cards or assistance with repairs. Medical assistance frequently includes help with life-saving prescription medications.
Rhinelander ACES (Area Churches for Emergency Services) manages the donations in an efficient and effective manner, and provides a unified effort to serve our community, the release explains. ACES includes Calvary Baptist, First Congregational UCC, First United Methodist, Grace Foursquare, Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, Nativity of Our Lord, North Country Vineyard Church and Trinity Lutheran.
Those who are are unable to ring, can donate to the cause by mailing checks to
Rhinelander Salvation Army

Rhinelander, WI 54501.
