As the holiday season approaches, the spirit of giving is in the air, and the Salvation Army of Greater Chattanooga is calling on community members to lend a helping hand. This year, the organization is actively recruiting volunteers for its much-anticipated Red Kettle Campaign, which plays a vital role in providing support to families in need throughout the region.
The Red Kettle Campaign is one of the Salvation Army’s signature fundraising initiatives, running annually during the holiday season. The iconic red kettles and bell ringers can be found stationed at various storefronts across the country, collecting donations that fund essential programs and services for individuals and families facing challenges such as hunger, homelessness, and financial instability. Every donation—no matter how small—can make a significant difference in the lives of those who are struggling.
In the Chattanooga area, bell ringing will commence on Friday, November 22nd. Volunteers are needed to stand outside local stores and engage with the community while encouraging donations. This is not only a chance to contribute financially but also a wonderful opportunity to spread holiday cheer and goodwill.
The Salvation Army welcomes volunteers of all backgrounds. Not only does bell ringing help raise funds for vital services, but it also fosters a sense of connection and positivity during the holiday season.
Getting involved is easy! Individuals interested in volunteering for the Red Kettle Campaign can sign up online through the Salvation Army of Greater Chattanooga’s website. The organization provides all the necessary training and materials, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and willingness to help.
Don’t wait—sign up today and be part of a beloved tradition that carries on the spirit of the season in Greater Chattanooga!
