Due to colder than normal temperatures The Salvation Army is choosing to put people's health and safety first. You may see less of the familiar red kettles and bell ringers until the weather improves but you can still support your local community by donating online at www.redkettlereason.org.

With fewer days to collect funds from its street corners and shopping mall locations, Salvation Army leaders are hoping for a surge in public response to reach the Red Kettle Campaign goal for the Northern New England Division which serves people living in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Currently, the Division is behind more than $215,000.00 compared to last year at this time.

Funds raised through the familiar red kettles are vital to The Salvation Army’s programs and services.
