As the holiday season approaches, the joyful sound of bells ringing fills the air, greeting us as we step into our favorite local spots. It’s a tradition that has brought warmth and hope to our communities for many years. Behind those bells lies a pure mission: to collect donations that help provide food and meals for the hungry, shelter for those in need, and Christmas gifts for struggling families.
Each year, The Salvation Army serves more than 25 million people across the United States, making a tangible difference in the lives of our neighbors. Best of all, every dollar dropped into a red kettle stays in your community, supporting local programs and services that meet critical needs.
But did you know you can be part of this holiday magic?
Join the Red Kettle Tradition
The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign is powered by volunteers who generously give their time to ring bells and spread cheer. By signing up to ring, you can directly contribute to the well-being of others and create a ripple effect of kindness.
Volunteering is easy and flexible! Simply visit www.registertoring.com or contact your local Salvation Army to get started. You can:
-
Choose a time and location that fits your schedule.
-
Volunteer individually or bring along friends, family, or coworkers.
-
Represent your business, church, school, or service club as a group.
-
Become a virtual ringer by setting up an online fundraiser to support the campaign remotely.
Prefer an in-person option? Stop by your local Salvation Army office in Watertown and speak with Captain Dennis for assistance.
Why Your Support Matters
The Red Kettle Campaign is about more than raising funds; it’s about spreading hope and creating meaningful connections. When you volunteer to ring, you’re not just collecting donations—you’re inspiring generosity, building community, and creating a brighter future for those in need.
This year, let’s ring in the holiday season with compassion and purpose. Every bell you ring echoes with hope, warmth, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Join us in making a difference—one ring at a time.
