The bells will be ringing outside of local businesses as an annual tradition begins again.
The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign officially kicks off Saturday. It serves as the main fundraiser for the local Salvation Army. Major Darlene Means said, “Though it helps us at Christmastime to provide gift and food for families and for senior citizens, it also helps us throughout the year provide utility assistance, rental assistance, to help stock items for our food pantry that we don’t get from the Pittsburgh Food Bank.”
The kettles are placed at different locations all throughout the area. However, if you don’t have cash or change on you, there’s also a digital option for you to donate.
Means says, “On our kettles we have a QR code that you can scan and also we have our website that you can donate through.”
The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign runs through December 23rd.
Our family of radio stations will be participating again this year.
