This October, you will see our officers proudly wearing pink badges in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The pink badge represents more than awareness it represents strength, courage, hope, and support for those battling breast cancer, survivors, and the families who stand beside them.

We wear pink to honor those affected, remember those we've lost, and support those who continue to fight.

From our friends at the Waseca County Chapter of the Salvation Army! When we ask for your support during our First Responder Bell Ringing Challenge every December, those funds are used to supplement donations for projects like this Stuff - A- Bus event!

The first event is tomorrow at the Waseca Walmart from 10-6 !

WASECA, MN- The Waseca County Chapter of the Salvation Army announces plans to support school age children in Waseca County with multiple backpack school supply “Stuff A Bus” drives this summer, culminating with a distribution to families in mid-August.
Recognizing the increasing cost for families to provide necessary school supplies, the Waseca County Chapter of the Salvation Army has chosen to use funds from the December 2025 First Responder Bell Ringing Challenge at Waseca Walmart to fund a school supply drive for kids in the Waseca, New Richland and Janesville School Districts.
On two consecutive Saturdays- July 18th and July 25th 2026, Palmer Bus Service will provide a bus at Waseca Walmart, 2103 North State Street, from 10 AM to 6 PM. The bus will be staffed by local members of the Waseca County Salvation Army Committee. School supply lists will be available for shoppers to choose donations while shopping for drop-off at the bus upon exiting the store. Cash donations will also be accepted in a red kettle on-site.
On Tuesday, August 4th, 2026 at Waseca’s Night to Unite at the Waseca Waterpark from 5-7 PM, attendees are encouraged to bring school supplies to donate before entering the waterpark. Palmer Bus Service will again supply a bus to collect donations.
Distribution of backpacks and supplies will take place the week of August 10th-15th at the Minnesota Valley Action Council Offices located at 108 10th Ave SE in Waseca. Backpacks will be available on a first-come, first-served basis from 8-4:30 PM M-F and 9-12 AM on Saturday the 15th. Recipients must be residents of Waseca County.
We encourage the community to support these efforts, as all dollars and supplies raised go directly back to local assistance programs.
Anyone with questions is asked to call Kerri at 507-835-8240.
