Turlock Mayor Gary Soiseth is calling on the community to support a well-deserving cause during this weekend’s fifth annual Salvation Army Mayors Kettle Challenge, which will raise much-needed funds for the nonprofit organization through some friendly competition. The need is greater than ever this year, said Turlock Corps Major Debi Shrum, after the Salvation Army’s Divisional Headquarters decided that it would no longer help out smaller chapters, such as Turlock, and instead will expect each corps to provide for itself financially. Turlock Salvation Army was expecting to receive $178,000 from the Divisional Headquarters in 2018 to be used for operating costs.
