Salvation Army Kicks Off Red Kettle Campaign

As the holiday season approaches, the Salvation Army is seeking both volunteers and paid bell ringers for its Red Kettle campaign, which runs from November 27 to Christmas Eve. In Los Alamos and White Rock, local volunteers aim to raise $15,000 to support families in need, with each bell-ringing shift contributing significantly to covering utility bills. The campaign is vital for assisting vulnerable groups such as elderly residents and single-parent households. Similarly, in Denver, the Salvation Army highlights that donations raised during the bell-ringing effort will stay within the metro area, providing shelter and meals to those in need. Volunteers can choose their hours and locations, while those seeking paid positions must be at least 18 years old. The impact of the campaign is underscored by past successes, including raising over $42,000 in a recent fundraising event.
