Salvation Army seeks bell-ringers; businesses for kettle locations

You will be seeing the return of the Salvation Army’s red kettles at local stores and businesses, as the annual fundraising campaign gets underway. And organizers are hoping you can help with their efforts.

According to the Salvation Army of Columbus, volunteers are needed to help staff the red kettles as the organization works toward its goal of raising $100,000 thousand dollars for the campaign over the next six weeks.

They invite individuals, groups, and families to sign up for a shift, saying in just two hours you can raise enough money to feed a family of four for an entire week.

You can sign up to help out at registertoring.com

The kettles will be visible at large local retailers including Walmart, Sam’s Club, Kroger, Hobby Lobby, and Walgreens. You can also find smaller counter kettles at businesses around the community. If you are interested in hosting a Red Kettle or counter kettle, you can contact the Salvation Army at 812-372-7118.
