If someone wants to help the Salvation Army, but can’t shop for a specific child, there are other ways to play Santa for a needy child.

The annual Red Kettle campaign of the Salvation Army is their main fundraising project, according to Spalding. Funds raised from the Red Kettles aren’t used just at Christmas, but throughout the year for the many projects of the local Salvation Army unit. This year’s goal is $80,000 and they still have a way to go before reaching it, says Spalding.

The Red Kettles and bell ringers will be out until Christmas Eve and the Salvation Army need volunteers to ring bells at the kettle locations.
