This month, Lewisville Mayor TJ Gilmore issued a friendly challenge to Highland Village, Flower Mound, Bartonville and The Colony, to benefit The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign.

It funds community programs such as clothing assistance, food pantry and meal service, employment assistance, rent and utility assistance, adult education, and emergency response.
