Bell Ringing - where does the money go?

I was born and raised in Anoka Minnesota. I wen to Anoka High School and eventually graduated from Brown College with a degree in Radio Broadcasting. I worked at KILR Radio in Estherville Iowa for 8 years. I fell into alcoholism and now have 3.5 years sober! I now get to help people everyday. I was recently promoted from one of our locations in St.Paul. I'm now the donor relations manager handling lots of the bell ringing. I have been married just over a year and life is great! I'm very grateful today. I hope some of this helps! I also have a story below in a link that The Salvation Army did on me a few months ago when I was in St.Paul.
