Salvation Army looking for volunteer Red Kettle bell ringers
Posted
The Salvation Army is looking for energetic, giving, community-minded volunteers this holiday season to be bell ringers at the Army’s famous Red Kettles in an effort to “Rescue Christmas.”
The Salvation Army has implemented protocols to protect the health and safety of its bell ringers that include PPE, sanitizing products, social distancing, etc.
The funds raised through the Red Kettles are at risk this year due to COVID-19 during a time when requests for services are at an all-time high.
The Salvation Army could see up to a 50 percent decrease in funds raised through Red Kettles due to economic impacts from COVID-19, such as closed retails stores, less retail foot traffic, and people carrying less cash and coins – and estimates serving up to 155 percent more people nationwide this Christmas because of the pandemic.
More volunteers at Red Kettles means more of the money donated can go to help our neighbors in need.
“Bell ringing is fun, easy, and an excellent way to give to those in our communities,” said Major David Yardley, The Salvation Army Metro Phoenix program coordinator. “It’s a holiday tradition for many people and a fantastic way to embrace the spirit of the season.
For more information, contact a local Salvation Army at SalvationArmyPhoenix.org and click “Volunteer.”
Those who don’t have the time to volunteer can make contactless donations at Red Kettles with Apple Pay or Google Pay, and donations can also be made safely and securely at SalvationArmyRedKettle.org.
