From November 18 to Christmas, the Salvation Army will ring bells in our area to raise money to help people. The Salvation Army works every day to prevent homelessness, help the homeless, feed the hungry, clothe those without, educate students, and meet community needs.

As part of the 2024 Red Kettle Campaign, there will be a school challenge. Sports teams, bands, choirs, service clubs, ROTC groups, and others will select the shift and the store to ring for 4 hours to help those in need and to win the School Challenge. Churches, businesses, and other groups can also challenge others in your area to see who can raise the most!

Donations raised will be added to other groups from each school, and the winning school will receive the Salvation Army School Challenge Trophy at our winter celebration.

The Red Kettle Campaign is the Salvation Army’s largest fundraiser in our community. Every dollar helps meet local needs. If we can work together and compete against each other in a fun way, our community and those in need win.

Get your team together and contact the Salvation Army at 704-867-6910 or email [email protected] to sign up!
