Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign Expands Nationwide

The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign, a fundraising tradition since 1891, has commenced across various regions in the United States, including Rapid City, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Minot, and beyond. This campaign is crucial for funding local programs such as food assistance, emergency shelter, and social services throughout the year, with each location setting specific fundraising goals. Volunteers are vital for the campaign's success, and positions are available both for volunteers and paid workers. The campaign also includes incentives, like the chance to win a diamond necklace in Rapid City, and has expanded to include online donation options and digital payment methods. The funds raised are essential for providing holiday assistance and supporting families in need due to the rising economic pressures. Community members are encouraged to volunteer as bell ringers or donate to help the Salvation Army meet their fundraising goals and support those in crisis.
