(AP) — American National Bank in midtown Omaha will again be the site of The Salvation Army’s Tree of Lights.

The public is invited to the lighting ceremony of the giant Christmas tree on Friday evening. A special 125th anniversary illuminated display will also be unveiled.

Friday is also the day The Salvation Army’s red kettles and bell ringers begin appearing outside businesses in the Omaha area.

The campaign continues through Dec. 24.

The money collected during the six-week campaign supports Salvation Army programs and services throughout the year, including food pantries, housing, utility assistance, behavioral health services and education. All money raised through the Red Kettle Drive stays in the community where the funds are collected.
