The Red Kettles and bell ringers are perhaps the most visible community-wide Salvation Army program. The nickels, dimes, and dollars put into the kettles provide needy families with Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, gifts for children, coats, and shoes for kids with none to wear, and visitation to the elderly and imprisoned who have no one to care for them. The bell ringing goes on to provide services to the public throughout the months following the holidays.
In years past Presbyterian Women (PW) has arranged for bell ringers for the Salvation Army Kettle Drive at the Food Lion on Coalter Street. During and after COVID, however, PW sponsored a church collection in support of the Salvation Army kettles — usually ending in mid-December. This year PW is doing the same— if you’d like to donate please submit a check with KETTLE written in the memo line or an envelope marked Kettle for cash donations.
