SOUTHERN COLORADO — King Soopers employees are getting into the holiday spirit by volunteering some of their time to help those in need.
Wednesday, they rang bells for The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign. There are 136 participating King Soopers stores in the grocery chain participating.
News5 asked one of the employees, Anthony Martinez, why he volunteered his time Wednesday.
"We always want to give back where we can, and this is one of the easiest things we can do," said Martinez. "Usually donating money's the easiest thing, but a lot of what I would say is donating time. I thought it was something important and be the change you want to see in the world."
Martinez even had his wife and his daughter help ring the bells and collect donations.
