Salvation Army Red

Kettle Campaign

The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign is our major fund ​raiser each year. The campaign is launched in mid November ​and goes through December 24th. Volunteers sign up to be bell ​ringers at Walmart or Smith’s. They encourage people to give ​whatever they can. Young children are delighted to put dollars ​and coins in the kettle in exchange for a candy cane. All ​donations are greatly appreciated. 90% of the funds remain in ​the local community to support the services of the Riverton ​Help Center. We received over $16,000 in the 2023 campaign, ​which was awesome! A huge thank you goes out to all our ​bell ringers and all those who generously donated to make it ​such a successful 2023 campaign. Be watching for ​information on the 2024 campaign!

WyoGives Campaign July 2023-

We are truly grateful for the generosity of all those who donated to the Riverton Help Center through the 5th ​Annual WyoGives Initiative on July 13, 2024 sponsored by the Wyoming Nonprofit Network. We had set a goal ​of raisiing $5,000 in a 24 hour period. We received $2,490 in online donations and felt that we had been ​successful for our first participation in WyoGives. But there was more to come! We more than met our $5,000 ​goal thanks to $2,490 in online giving and two anonymous checks for $200.00 and one for $5,000! We were ​truly so excited, because we exceeded our goal by $2,690! We are so thankful for the community support we ​received and are looking forward to continuing to serve those in need in our

community! Please check us out on Facebook and like our page!
