“We’re swapping out the Red Kettle for firefighter’s boots to collect donations during the ‘Bells and Boots’ drive on Saturday,” said Capt. Anita Albert-Watson, area coordinator for the Salvation Army in Summit County, in a prepared statement.  “Our goal is to collect $5,000 because that amount will be matched on December 16 only.”
