One of the key Salvation Army fundraisers is its famous Red Kettle Campaign. This year, Ligonier’s annual Red Kettle campaign will begin Monday, November 17 and continue to December 24. Members of Ligonier’s local business, government, faith, and non profit community will all take turns at our local Giant Eagle supermarket soliciting donations for our local Salvation Army office.
If your organization is interested in participating with the Salvation Army’s kettle campaign, or if you or your family would like to sign up for a time slot, please fill out the form below. A local Salvation Army Volunteer will get back to you with our available dates and times.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the money donated to the kettle campaign stay in Ligonier? What will the funds be used for?
The Red Kettle campaign is a local fundraiser. 100% of the donations will be distributed by Ligonier’s Salvation Army branch to those in need in the Ligonier Valley. In the past, the Red Kettle Campaign funds have been used to help those who can’t afford heating in the wintertime through utility bill payment assistance or heating oil purchases. None of the Red Kettle campaign gifts are used for overhead or administrative costs.
What shifts are still available? How long will a shift last?
Hour-long shifts will be available Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Organizations are welcome to claim a day to ring the bell and staff it at their own schedules. Individuals are welcome to take an hour-long shift as they are available. Fill out the contact form below to learn about our available shifts.
